Crushed peach preserve

Crushed peach preserve

Make some delicious jam for breakfast, or you could make a batch and give it to friends and relatives as lovely home made gifts

Makes: 1.4kg (3lb)

What you need:

  • 2 x 410g Cans of Peach Slices in fruit juice
  • 1kg Jam Sugar
  • Knob of Butter

What you do:

  1. Place the peaches with their juice in a preserving pan. Crush the fruit with a potato masher then stir in the Jam Sugar. Heat gently, stirring continuously, until the sugar and pectin have dissolved. Do not allow to boil.
  2. Add the knob of butter, then still stirring, increase the heat and bring to a full rolling boil, one that bubbles vigorously, rises in the pan and cannot be stirred down. As soon as this stage is reached, start timing.
  3. Boil for 4 minutes only. Remove from the heat. Pot and cover in the usual way.
