Peach jam in syrup
Description
This is a simple recipe for making peach jam in syrup. Required ingredients: peaches, sugar, water, and lemon juice. By the way, if you bought nectarines instead of peaches, they will work perfectly as well. Peach or nectarine jam made according to this recipe stores well at room temperature, even if sealed with a regular plastic lid. Happy cooking!

Step 6
After 24 hours, heat the jam to boiling, reduce the heat, and simmer gently, stirring carefully, until about 200 ml of liquid has evaporated (if making a larger batch of jam, evaporate an equivalent amount of liquid corresponding to the water used to make the syrup). This will take up to 10 minutes. Transfer the finished jam into jars and seal with lids.
