PEACH JAM

Ingredients
4 cups peaches, roughly chopped
1½-2 cups sugar
2 cloves
25 mm. (1") stick cinnamon
juice of ½ lemon
Method
1. Mix together the peaches, sugar, cloves and cinnamon along with 1 tablespoon water in a non-stick or a heavy bottomed pan.
2. Allow the peaches to simmer in their own liquid, over a slow flame for about 20-25 minutes till the mixture thickens (this preserve will thicken without any additives ).
3. Add the lemon juice and mix well.
4. Cool and store refrigerated in an air-tight container.
This lasts for a month.When peach is in season you can make jam and if you want it to last till next season you should add preservative to it.
