My husband, son and I live on 10 acres where we tend a large garden and acres of pumpkins. We love this jam so much we're going to start growing raspberries, too.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups crushed peeled peaches
  • 2 cups red raspberries, crushed
  • 1/4 cup bottled lemon juice
  • 7 cups sugar
  • 2 pouches (3 ounces each) liquid fruit pectin
  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven, combine the peaches, raspberries and lemon juice. Stir in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin; return to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  2. Remove from the heat; skim off foam. Add extract. Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot sterilized pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 5 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
