Ingredients:  
2 cups ripe peaches (about 3-4 medium peaches, peeled, and pitted)
3 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
1 package no-sugar-needed fruit pectin (1.75 ounce package )
¾ cup water
4-5 drops orange food coloring (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
Rinse and dry 6 half pint jars (or whatever jars you choose to use).
Using a food processor or blender, pulse peaches until they are finely diced, but not completely mashed. You can do this by hand, but a food processor is usually much faster and doesn’t require as much effort.
Measure 2 cups exactly of peaches and place in a large mixing bowl.
Add in sugar one cup at a time, stirring well after each addition.
Stir in lime (or lemon) juice.
Let sit for 10 minutes.
While peaches are sitting, prepare pectin.
In a small pan over medium-high heat, whisk together water and pectin.
Bring pectin to a rolling boil and set timer for 1 minute. Stir constantly for 1 minute and take off heat. Do not cook for more than 1 minute.
Add hot pectin to peach mixture and stir until sugar has dissolved. This should take several minutes.
Pour jam into jars. Leave ½ inch of space from the top of the container.
Cover jam tightly with a lid and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours before refrigerating or freezing
