tasty tuesday...

yummy yummy

sweet-as-summer

peach jam!
~~~

i love to make jam

(because it is soo easy peasy

lemon squeezy to do

and tastes soo good!)

and peach jam

is another one of my favorites!

~~~

i buy a crate of elberta peaches

(i only buy elbertas~

they are the best!)

when they are in season.

~~~

i love to eat fresh peaches

peeled, sliced, sugared,

and topped with 1/2 and 1/2.

yummy yummy!

as summer treats go,

it really doesn't get any better!

~~~

i save some peaches

to freeze some for jam

so i can taste summer

all year round!

~~~

peach jam

~~~

8-9 peaches, peeled and crushed

3 t lemon juice

4c sugar

1 pkg pectin

~~~

mix all together in a larger saucepan

and bring to a rolling boil

over medium heat;

reduce heat

and boil for 17 minutes;

pour into jars

and refrigerate.

~~~

it really is soo easy to make jam

and you can taste summer

when you do!

~~~

helpful hints

~~~

1) when i freeze my peaches,

i freeze them in bags

enough for 1 batch of jam.

~~~

2) i add the lemon juice to the peaches

when i freeze them

so they don't brown

and then i don't need to add

any when i make the jam.
