Ingredients
Gather these simple ingredients to create your peach jam:
- 4 cups of fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 1 packet of fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to make your own peach freezer jam:
- Start by washing the peaches thoroughly, then peel and dice them into small pieces. You should have about four cups of diced peaches.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced peaches with the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.
- Add the granulated sugar to the peach mixture. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the sugar to start dissolving and draw out the juices from the peaches.
- In a separate small saucepan, prepare the pectin according to the package instructions. Usually, this involves mixing the pectin with a small amount of water and bringing it to a boil.
- Once the pectin has boiled, pour it into the peach mixture and stir continuously for about 2 minutes until everything is well combined.
- Now, it’s time to transfer your jam into clean, freezer-safe jars. Leave a little bit of space at the top of the jar as the jam will expand when frozen.
- Allow the jars to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then place them in the freezer. Your peach jam will set within a few hours and can be stored for up to a year!
There you have it! With just a little bit of effort, you can enjoy this delicious homemade peach jam any time you like. Spread it on bread, use it as a topping for desserts, or simply enjoy it by the spoonful. Happy jam-making!
