Instructions

Combine the diced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a large saucepan.
Heat the mixture over medium-high until it reaches a rapid boil, then boil for 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes to break down the peaches.
Check for thickness by using a spoon; the mixture should stick to the back of it when ready.
Once thickened, pour the preserves into a large glass jar or smaller jars. Seal them and refrigerate.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.

Notes

For a sweeter preserve, adjust the sugar to taste.
Ensure the jars are sterilized before storing the preserves for better longevity.
These preserves can be used as a topping for desserts or mixed into yogurt.
