I made peach jam from a recipe of my Great Grandma Jones'. This recipe uses no pectin so you cook the jam until the natural pectin is in the jam. This took 3 1/2 hours, but I will tell you the jam is delicious! The recipe calls for cinnamon sticks and whole cloves that you add to the peaches and sugar to cook and you do not remove them, also marshcino cherries and lemon juice. My Great Grandma Jones babysat me from 3 years old until I went to kindergarten and when I tasted this jam I had a bunch of great memories flood my head. MMMMMMMMMM good.

I must admit that my favorite part of canning anything is how it looks all lined up on the countertop. Your peaches, I mean bottles of peaches, are beautiful. Can't wait to see you tomorrow.
Now you're starting to piss me off. How can I keep up with that? I noticed that Smuckers has a beautiful peach jam on sale at the Maceys Case Lot Sale. That may be where it's at for me this year:)
C U tomorrow!!
I second Carolee! You are now a "status"...when people say, wow Heather-good job, I will say, someday I hope to be a Vickie! *Sigh*
