Peach Preserves

I found this on Allrecipes.com. It had a 5 star rating and I had a bunch of peaches that needed something done to them!
This turned out really good. I tried it warm and thought this would be really good warmed up on vanilla ice-cream and as always good on toast or waffles!
Peach Preserves
  • 12 fresh peaches, pitted and chopped
  • 4 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 pkg dry pectin

Crush 1 cup of the chopped peaches in the bottom of a large saucepan. Add remaining peaches, and set pan over medium-low heat. Bring to a low boil and cook for about 20 minutes or until peaches become liquid (maybe leaving a few peach chunks!)

Add sugar and bring back to a boil over medium heat. Gradually stir in dry pectin, and boil for 1 minute.

Remove from heat after 1 minute and transfer to sterilized jars. Process in hot water bath canner for 10 minutes. Let cool and store and eat!!!
