Love this recipe! super easy and delish. Agree with consistancy and how I corrected it is to continue to microwave longer at 2-3 minutes intervals stirring and checking gel until it is correct. can be anywhere from extra 3-9 minutes based on microwave watts and humidity factors

The flavor in this was AWESOME, so sweet and bright peach flavor, yum! The ONLY reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because of the consistency. Mine turned out more like a syrup or preserves than a jam and I tend to use it more on ice cream, pancakes, or waffles. This was also one of my first adventures into canning since I helped my mum make strawberry jam when I was 7 so I'm certainly going to try it again and maybe I'll be able to achieve a better texture.

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies.
