peaches come from a tree
yesterday:
today:
peach freezer jam that didn't set. I left the skins on- figuring it would be fine since I was food processoring them. I wonder if that threw off the acid + sugar equation somehow. I'm going to try the suggestion on the pectin box for resetting the jam right now. Think it will work?
When I called in for back-up, my mom said, "Oh, just serve it over ice cream."
Brilliant woman.

When my strawberry jam didn't set the first time, the instructions on "re-setting" worked like a charm. I hope your peaches turn out as well! It looks delicious.

I wrote about peach freezer jam today as well. The first time I made peach freezer jam a couple of years ago it didn't set, but then I used the jars for peach glaze on meats and desserts and it was wonderful. (sometimes I secretly hope that it doesn't set so I can do that again!)

ha! I had the same thought as your mom.

Or on pancakes. That sounds yummy. And it looks beautiful. Oh, I see Rachel had the same idea. :)

Your mom sounds just like my mom.

Over hot biscuits. Peach shortcakes. Cobbler. Yogurt parfaits. In stuffed french toast. In & over ice cream. Oh, the things you can do with such lovely treats!

I like the way your mom thinks!
And those jars make for a pretty window treatment!

I wonder who "KK" is? I know a KK,,,
Hey! new banner! :)
I don't think you'd notice the skins either, do you? Surely they'll soften even more.

Or you can just use it as super soupy jam and use toast to swipe the extra droopy stuff off the plate!

I was going to say the same thing as your mom.
It sounds like it would be even better that way.
yum

You're so efficient...I have quite a few peaches waiting in the fridge to be made into something amazing. I hope the jam turns out!

Peach jam is wonderful so I hope the resetting works; that being said, your mom is a wise woman and the peach sauce would also be great on meat.

That's what my mom always does when some of the jelly doesn't set. We call it 'peach syrup' for your ice cream. haha! Looks pretty!

Use it as syrup for pancakes.

Can I just tell you how many jars of cherry "syrup" I have in my freezer?
It's good on waffles too, and mixed in with plain yogurt. We've even made popsicles with the yogurt/syrup combo.
