Ingredients
2 pounds Fresh Peaches

Peel off the skins.
Remove the pits and slice up the peaches.
Making the Jam
In a heavy bottom pan, add the peach slices and lemon juice.
Bring to boil over med-high heat, until peaches turn soft.
Reduce heat to medium, add sugar and stir well. If your peaches are very sweet, I recommend starting out with 1/4 cup of Sugar. You can always add more sugar if needed while its cooking.
Continue to boil and stir, until peaches reduce and reach desired consistency. It should be anywhere between 25-30 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool completely before serving.
Store in an airtight glass container.
