Ingredients
- 4 cups (peeled, pitted, and finely chopped or mashed) Fresh peaches
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons Instant pectin
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash, peel, and pit the peaches. To easily peel peaches, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath. The skins should slip right off.
Step 2
Finely chop or mash the peeled peaches using a potato masher or food processor, but do not puree completely. Measure 4 cups of prepared peaches and place in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Stir in the lemon juice and mix well to help preserve the color and flavor of the peaches.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and instant pectin. Mix thoroughly to avoid clumping.
Step 5
Gradually add the sugar-pectin mixture to the peaches, stirring constantly to ensure it is evenly distributed.
Step 6
Continue mixing for 3-5 minutes until the sugar and pectin have completely dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Step 7
Spoon the jam into clean, freezer-safe containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
Step 8
Seal the containers tightly with lids and let the jam sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to set.
Step 9
Once set, transfer the containers to the freezer. The jam can be stored in the freezer for up to 12 months or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Step 10
Thaw freezer jam in the refrigerator before using and enjoy on toast, pancakes, or your favorite desserts!
