Can I use canned peaches?

We recommend using fresh peaches or nectarines rather than canned for the best flavor and texture. However, you can use canned peaches if that’s all you have on hand; you’ll just have to watch for the right consistency and taste for sweetness.

How to make jam with no pectin
