Peach-Pear Jam
You will need:
1 lb. Peaches (about 2)
and 1 lb. Pears. (about 2)
Peel, core and dice the fruit.
and crush it into small pieces.
Measure the Fruit. You will need a total of 3 Cups (1-1/2 Cups Peaches and 1-1/2 Cups Pears).
Stir in 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
and 2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
and 5 Cups Sugar
Let it rest for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Turn around and notice that the Little One is making her Jam, too.
When the 10 minutes are up, place 3/4 Cup Water and 1 (1.75-oz) Box Fruit Pectin (Sure-Jell) in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour into Jam mixture, stir for 3 minutes.
Transfer to Freezer containers, seal and label. Let set at room temperature for 24 hours, until set. Store in Freezer.

ReplyDeleteYUM- this looks and sounds divine! your tutorial here is wonderful and I'm literally off to make it right now :) Thanks for your efforts!
ReplyDeleteThis might be a dumb question but what is lemon zest?
ReplyDelete@TXJULES, Lemon Zest is the finely grated yellow part of the Lemon Rind. Just be careful not to get the white part, or pith,--it is bitter. You can use a testing tool or a small grater to remove to zest from the Lemon.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a *zesting* tool...
