Description
A delicious and easy recipe for making Peach Freezer Jam that captures the fresh taste of peaches with a hint of orange.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups chopped or mashed, peeled or unpeeled peaches (about 4 large peaches or 2 pounds)
- 1/4 of a small naval orange (optional)
- 4 ½ cups sugar
- 1 1.59-ounce pouch powdered fruit pectin Sure-Jell original
- ¾ cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (bottled is best)
Instructions
- Peel peaches if desired; see note below on how to blanch peaches to easily peel them.
- Remove the pit from peaches. Finely chop the peaches, mash them with a potato masher or lightly pulse in a food processor.
- If making Freezer Peach Marmalade, remove seeds from the orange and slice into thin strips or triangles. Add the orange pieces and lemon juice to the peaches and stir in sugar. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, combine powdered pectin and water in a small saucepan, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute.
- Gradually add pectin to the peach mixture, stirring well. Stir gently about 3 minutes or until sugar is almost all dissolved.
- Spoon peach mixture into plastic or glass 1-cup freezer jars or containers. Wipe rims and cover with lids.
- Let stand at room temperature overnight. Store in freezer for up to 1 year. Thaw in refrigerator overnight. Store in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
- To easily peel peaches, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then transfer to an ice bath.
