👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   {'id': 'step_0', 'step': 1, 'text': 'Inspect five 12-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water.'}

2. 2

   {'id': 'step_1', 'step': 2, 'text': 'Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add peaches; cook until skins loosen, about 20 seconds. Drain; cool until easy to handle. Peel and pit peaches; cut flesh into chunks.'}

3. 3

   {'id': 'step_2', 'step': 3, 'text': 'Add 5 cups peach chunks to the pot; mash with a potato masher. Add sugar, gelatin mix, lemon juice, and almond extract; mix well. Bring to a rolling boil; boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.'}

4. 4

   {'id': 'step_3', 'step': 4, 'text': 'Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of the top.

   {'id': 'step_4', 'step': 5, 'text': 'Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water.
