As in, I made it in the early morning....
I have a half-bushel of peaches to deal with and 36 hours to do it in, including time for sleeping and working. So since I was getting up early anyway, I got up an hour earlier and made a batch of jam. These peaches are huge, and it took less than 3 of them to get 4 cups of diced peaches. I now have 7 jars of peach jam, 2 of which are for the fair. I'll make another batch before I start putting up peaches in syrup, because peach jam goes quickly.
[For the fair: 4 cups peaches, 2 T. lemon juice, pectin, 5.5 cups sugar, maraschino cherries and almonds.]

This jam won second place at the Topsfield Fair!
