    Ingredients

    • The juice from 4 Lg. Lemons (app 8 tbsp.)
    • 6 Lbs. fresh peaches
    • 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 C. granulated sugar
    • 8-eight oz. canning jars

    Directions

    1. 1.Pour lemon juice into a large, heavy bottom sauce pan. Peel, pit ,and chop peaches into bite size pieces. Add the pieces to the lemon juice as you chop, stirring with each addition to coat the peaches in the lemon juice which will help prevent browning.
    2. 2.Pour sugar over peaches and gently stir to coat with sugar. Let the mixture sit at room temp. for 1 hour.
    3. 3.Bring the mix to a full boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer for 1-2 hour ,until the liquid has reduced significantly and is thick and jelly like.
    4. 4. Pour the hot mixture into very clean dry glass jars leaving about 1'4 inch at top. Using a damp cloth or paper towel, wipe the tops of jars to ensure a clean seal. Cap and screw on lids, leaving a bit loose.
    5. 5.Bring a large pot of water, or water bath canner, to a rolling boil and gently lower the jars into the boiling water. The water should cover the jars by at least 1/2 inch. Let process for 10 min. Remove the jars from water bath and place upside down on a dry towel laid out on a flat surface. Allow to cool completely.
