I made two batches and both fantastic! In the second batch I added a little marschino cherry juice. The jam was a blush peach color and it was still the great taste of peach. The cost of pectin has went through the roof as is almost everything! Thanks for posting.

    This was GREAT! I has 4 fresh peaches that were going over in the fruit bowl, so followed the recipe (except I didn't peel them). Once chopped they made up about 2 cups of fruit so I added 2 cups of sugar. Wish I'd added the butter as suggested by "Shriek" though. The jam is devine. Not too sweet and delicious.

    Two words, Di: "YOU ROCK!" I'm always looking for a good non-pectin jam recipe (I make a lot of jam and the price of pectin kills me). However, when recipes just state "cook to jell point" I get nervous. I've made both fruit "syrup" and fruit "paste" because I either didn't cook the jam long enough or I cooked it too long. :sigh: This recipe dares to give a set time and my jam came out PERFECT. Oh! and I also loved that this recipe calls for twice as much fruit as it does sugar (unlike pectin recipes which have more sugar than fruit). I can actually taste more peach then sugar. Yeah for Di!

    When I find a recipe that is this easy, yet yields such great results, I have to give it a 5 star. I found it very helpful to have a time frame included for the jam to reach the gel point. I also like the fact that I could probably scale this recipe up or down a bit quite easily (unlike pectin recipes where you have to use exactly the quantities they tell you to).
