but make sure you have good peaches -- I just dropped everything and went and got better ones
I'm so ticked that after buying 2 big bags for jam, they were no good. Tasteless and had to be torn apart so they smooshed to pieces when I tried to pull from stone. So I just drove across town to the place my friend got peaches for the pies we made last weekend. I made them cut one before buying.
What a waste!

I am surprised you are still getting "clings" but maybe in California, peaches are grown
year round and clings are grown.
Here in the Carolinas our peach season (only 1) progresses from clings to freestone with the latter beginning in late May or June and after that it is all freestone.
I have made jam for years doing this recipe, except using powdered Sure Jell and not liquid pectin. Follow the directions on the pectin package for the exact amount of boiling of the pectin.
This year I have done mine differently using MUCH less sugar with amazing results of a very peachy preserves and great flavor. I gave the recipe a few days ago again. Easy and very delicious. You don't get the number of jars because you only use 2C sugar instead of more.
