Peach Jam
1/4 cup lemon juice
16 firm, ripe peaches
6 cups granulated sugar
In large saucepan, combine chopped peaches, sugar and lemon juice. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour or overnight to allow juice to develop. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring while sugar dissolves. Boil rapidly for 20 to 25 minutes or until mixture is thick, fruit is clear and jam has jelled. Stir almost constantly. Remove from heat; stir for 5 minutes. Pour into hot, sterilized jars.
