Nana Lee I love this recipe. I had a bag of peaches in the deep freeze. I had just enough. I love the fact it uses 1/2 of splenda...none of this 7 cups of sugar. It was fast and simple and set up wonderfully. I made 5 jelly jars + the little 1/4 cup jar that I am going to give to my neighbor to try. My grandma is diabetic and I give her jams and jellies every xmas...she will love this. This is my peach jam recipe from now on.

I made this jam today. It was still a bit tart so I will add a small bit of additional stevia. Over all tastes great! Only problem I had is my jam is a little dark. I'm not sure what happened.

This is yummy! I had to do something with a half bushel of peaches I had purchased. I'll have peach jam in the winter and plenty to put in gift baskets for the holiday.

I made this using sugar instead of splenda. It turned out absolutely delicious without excessive amounts of sugar masking the pure peach flavor or making it icky sweet. I used local peaches which were extra juicy this year and the jam set up fine. Definitely my go to peach jam recipe now.
