Not wasting "God's bounty"

When you are trying not to waste "God's bounty" you find any and all ways to use said bounty - we gave peach jam a try with our bounty. We had quite a storm roll through and so many ripe peaches fell off the tree so we collected a bunch to make jam. We race the bugs at this stage of peach picking... and sometimes the bugs win. You cut open a peach and blech! Worms... Scoop them out and move on right? That's what we did anyway. This jam firmed up more than any jam I've ever made. So either the double pouches of pectin or the ripe peaches made this work very well. Nicholas declared this amazing and couldn't wait to have more. I'd say this was a raving success!

Peach Freezer Jam
2-1/2 cups chopped peaches (buy about 2 lb. fully ripe peaches)
4-1/2 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl
1 pouch SURE-JELL CERTO Premium Liquid Fruit Pectin
3 tbsp juice from 1 lemon

Rinse clean plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly.
Peel and pit peaches. Finely chop or grind peaches. Measure exactly 2-1/2 cups prepared fruit into large bowl. Stir in sugar. Let stand 10 min., stirring occasionally.
Mix pectin and lemon juice in small bowl. Add to prepared fruit mixture in large bowl; stir 3 min. or until most of the sugar is dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)
Fill all containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Jam is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or freeze extra containers up to 1 year. If frozen, thaw in refrigerator.
