Ingredients
- 4 cups (peeled, pitted, and finely chopped) Fresh ripe peaches
- 2.5 cups Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons No-cook freezer jam pectin
Directions
Step 1
Wash your hands and sanitize all preparation surfaces before starting.
Step 2
Peel the peaches: Bring a pot of water to a boil, and prepare an ice bath. Gently drop fresh peaches into the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to the ice bath. The skins should easily slip off. Peel and pit the peaches, then finely chop them until you have 4 cups.
Step 3
Place the chopped peaches in a large mixing bowl. Stir in sugar and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, mix the lemon juice and freezer jam pectin. Stir the pectin mixture into the peach mixture for 3 minutes, ensuring it is evenly combined.
Step 5
Ladle the jam into clean, freezer-safe containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing. Wipe rims, seal tightly with lids, and label with the date.
Step 6
Let the jam sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to set. Once set, store the jars in the freezer for up to one year or in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
Step 7
Defrost if frozen and enjoy on bread, crackers, or as a topping for your favorite desserts!
