Grandma's peach or strawberry jam

My great grandmother taught me how to make jams. She also made her own "pectin " by boiling down apple peal and cores from making applesauce.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Put peaches, butter, and lemon juice in very large pot and heat to boil stirring frequently to prevent sticking and burning

Step 2

Mix sugar, jello, and pectin in a bowl and set aside

Step 3

When the fruit is boiling stir in the dry sugar mix until dissolved

Step 4

Cook stirring until a full rolling boil is reached then start testing for sheeting every few minutes. The fruit should all be translucent. About 215- 220 degrees F.

Step 5

Ladle into hot clean canning jars , wipe rims and put on hot lids. Water bath 10 minutes.
