Peach Preserves
These homemade Peach Preserves are easy to make in 30 minutes with just fresh peaches, sugar, and lemon! No canning or pectin required.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 6 peaches diced into 2” cubes
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 lemon juiced
- ½ lemon zest
Instructions
- Add peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a large saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a rapid boil and boil for 20 minutes. Stir every couple of minutes and use a wooden spoon to help break down the peaches, until the mixture thickens. You’ll know it’s done once the peaches stick to the back of a spoon (rather than running off of it).
- Transfer preserves to a large glass jar or several smaller jars with a sealed lid and place in the refrigerator. Store refrigerated for up to 2 months (or possibly longer, I haven’t tried it!). Enjoy!
Notes
*Calories are per serving and are an estimation
NOTE: You don’t have to peel the peaches. You can if you want, but the skins break down nicely when heated, so save yourself the time and just dice the peaches as-is!
