Do peaches make good jam or do they need added lemons, maybe apples to help make a 'good set'.

You can now buy proper jam setting sugar at the supermarket and it works perfectly, I have just made peach and nectarine jams and last month made strawberry.

The nicest jam I had ever eaten was peach not that it helps your question. I have made it and do not remember adding lemons to it but it was a few years back.

Not keen on peach jam, I wouldn't put the effort into making it, or the sugar.
