This natural peach jam or filling recipe is perfect for those who want to enjoy a delicious peach flavor in the comfort of their home. It is made with fresh, ripe peaches, lemon juice, and a bit of sugar. The jam has a smooth, fruity texture and a sweet, tangy taste that makes it ideal for spreading on toast, biscuits, or pancakes. This recipe can also be used to make peach cobblers, muffins, and tarts. The jam is easy to make and can be stored in the fridge or freezer for later use. By making your own peach jam, you can avoid buying the store-bought version that often contains artificial additives and preservatives.

Instructions

1.	Place the chopped peaches, sugar, apple wedges, lemon juice, and water in a large pot over medium-high heat.
2.	Stir the mixture well until all the ingredients are well combined.
3.	Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, making sure to stir it occasionally to prevent it from burning.
4.	Test the jam's thickness by spooning a bit of it onto a chilled plate. If it is too thin, cook for a few more minutes. If it is too thick, add a bit of water to it.
5.	Remove the apple wedges from the pot and save them for another use.
6.	Transfer the hot jam into clean, sterilized jars and let it cool completely before storing in the fridge or freezer.
