That said, I was very unclear on this recipe on two things.
1. Is this jam supposed to be very chunky? The recipe says to cut peaches to about 3/4 inch chunks. I expected that these would break down as they cooked, but they never did.
2. Is the rolling boil supposed to be happening in a liquid? The mixture that first went into the pot was not liquid at all, and when it first started to bubble it was still mostly solids and very thick.

I ended up burning the sugar as I waited for the peaches to break down and the mixture to boil as a liquid. I’ve gone ahead and canned it; we’ll see what it tastes like. I’ll probably try another batch and try watching for a rolling boil early on, without waiting for anything to break down.
