The flavor in this was AWESOME, so sweet and bright peach flavor, yum! The ONLY reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because of the consistency. Mine turned out more like a syrup or preserves than a jam and I tend to use it more on ice cream, pancakes, or waffles. This was also one of my first adventures into canning since I helped my mum make strawberry jam when I was 7 so I'm certainly going to try it again and maybe I'll be able to achieve a better texture.Reply
