Ingredients

3 1/2 pounds peaches (8 to 10), peeled, halved, pitted, and cut into chunks 

1 1/4 pounds sugar (scant 3 cups) 

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 

Coarse salt 

Preparation

Working in batches, pulse peaches in a food processor until chunky. Transfer to a small saucepan, and add sugar, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil, continuing to stir, until bubbles slow, foam subsides, fruit rises to the top, and jam sticks to a spoon when lifted, about 12 minutes. Let cool. Refrigerate until completely cooled.
