How to make homemade jam-easily!

Making your own jam is quite easy. My mother loves to make fruit jams at home.You too can make homemade jams and jellies if you follow these few simple steps.First check the jars for cracks chips. Then wash the jars and their lids in hot, soapy water. Second place the jars and their lids in boiling water to sterilize. Make sure the water is boiling when you add the jars and that the water comes up and covers the top of the jars. Let the jars sit in boiling water for 10 minutes. Later on remove jars and let them cool. While the jars and lids boil, prepare your fruit. If you are making peach jam, the first thing you need to do is to wash peaches, secondly use a knife to chop them into small pieces and subsequently remove the seeds. The next thing you should do is measure out sugar and set aside. Afterwards boil the peaches and the sugar together and using a masher, crush the peaches. Next open the packet of the preservative and add this to the crushed fruit and sugar and then let these cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. If foam appears at the top of the pan, remove with a spoon. Finally fill your hot jars with the hot jam.
