4 pounds fully ripened fresh peaches, peeled and pitted
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 packages powdered fruit pectin
2 cups mild flavored honey

Preparation Instructions:

Chop peaches, blending them with the lemon juice. Measure the prepared fruit, packing it down in the cup. You should have 4 full cups. Place fruit and lemon juice in a 6 to 8 quart stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Add pectin and mix well.

Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. When fruit is boiling, stir while slowly pouring in honey, blending well. Continue stirring and return to a full rolling boil. When boiling cannot be stirred down, boil for 4 more minutes. Remove from heat. Alternately stir and skim for 5 minutes.

Can or freeze. To can, pour into hot, scalded half pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace, and seal. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. To freeze, leave 1/2 inch of head space and allow to cool in the refrigerator for 10 hours before freezing.
