Notes : 

  • To test whether the jam is ready, Place a few drops of jam on plate and put it on the freezer for a few minutes. Take out and draw a line through mixture with your finger, the mixture stays separated and appears wrinkly, it is set. If it still appears runny, boil mixture for another couple of minutes and try freezer test again.

  • Better to use peaches that are not quite ripe for jams and jellies,they actually have more natural pectin.
