Notes
I made the peach jam with ½ cups and ¾ cups of granulated sugar. We preferred the ¾ cup version when we used the jam paired with cheese and crackers. However, we preferred the less sweet version (½ cup of sugar) when using the jam for a sandwich.
I recommend adding ½ cups of sugar, tasting it, and adding more to taste. Some peaches are much sweeter than others, so the amount of sugar you add may depend on the sweetness of the peach.
This recipe makes about 18 tablespoons or 16-18 oz in total. I was able to fill three 4-ounce mason jars. The amount of jam will vary depending on the peach size.
