Homemade Peach Jam

My sweet neighbors gave me some peaches from their yard and I am the only one home right now that will eat them.  I simply could not let them go to waste so I researched a quick and easy jam recipe and got about 6 jars out of this batch.  It was quite delicious.  I'm sending some to my sweet missionary.

Ingredients:

3 lbs. fresh peaches - about 4 cups crushed or 7 medium peaches
1 pkg. powdered Pectin
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
5 cups sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon or allspice

Directions:

Sort and wash fully ripe peaches.  Remove stems, skins, bruises and pits.  Crush peaches

Measure crushed peaches into a large pot.  Add lemon juice and pectin; stir well.  Place on high heat and, while stirring constantly, bring to a rolling boil with bubbles over the entire surface.  Add the sugar and spices all at once and heat again to a full bubbling boil.  Boil hard for 1 minute (set a timer), stirring constantly.

Remove from heat; skim foam off the top.

Pour immediately into sterile canning jars.  Fill the jars to 1/4 inch from the top.  Seal them and process 5 minutes in a boiling water bath.
