Reduced Sugar Peach Champagne Jam

Swiped off the bernardin website and modified since i couldn't find another recipe like this anywhere. All the others either used gelatin, were ment to be kept in the fridge instead of canned, or were about 90% sugar. I haven't actually tried this yet but i'm hoping it will taste a bit like a bellini. I'm going to serve it over ice cream and in yogurt.

Steps

Sterilize 6 250ml mason jars in a dishwasher or hot water bath.
Heat lids in hot water , not boiling.
Keep jars and lids hot until ready to use.
Score an x into the bottom of your peaches , blanch in boiling water for about 45 seconds , then douse into ice water for a minute they should now peel very easily.
Squeeze each peeled peach and you should end up with a bowl of mush and the pit still in your hand.
Measure crushed peaches , champagne , and lemon juice into a large , deep stainless steel saucepan.
Whisk in pectin until dissolved.
If using sweetener , measure splenda or sugar and set aside.
Stirring constantly , bring fruit mixture to a boil over high heat.
If using , add sweetener and return mixture to a boil.
Stirring frequently , boil 3 minutes.
Remove from heat.
Skim foam.
Quickly ladle jam into a hot jar to within 1 / 4 inch of top of jar.
Using nonmetallic utensil , remove air bubbles and adjust headspace if required by adding more jam.
Wipe jar rim removin.
