Choose Your Own (Peach) Adventure


Peach Refrigerator Jam

Do you like peaches?

Yes=make this jam!, No=go find something better to do!

If you said Yes,

Buy, find, or steal some really good peaches

Peel skin off peaches

Slice or chop peaches

Put peaches in a big pot

Are you using about 8-10 peaches?

Yes=add 1 C water, No=um, use another amount

Does this seem like enough water to start cooking the peaches?

Yes=go ahead to the next step, No=add more!

Add a tablespoon of sugar or 2 tablespoons agave nectar

Wait, taste it! Don't burn yourself!
Does that taste like too much?

Yes=don't worry, it'll be okay. Add a little lemon juice to balance it out, No=add more

Cook gently, stirring every once in a while

As peaches get softer, mash them in the pot

Is it starting to look like jam?

Yes=stop cooking it, No=keep cooking it

Cool it off for about 15 minutes and put it in a jar

Refrigerate

Are you hungry?

Yes=eat it now, No=wait, don't eat it yet

Clean up your kitchen!

You don't feel like cleaning up?

Right, I don't feel like it=do it later!
Wrong, I can't wait to clean up=do it now!
