Less Sugar Peach Freezer Jam
Easy peach freezer jam made with juicy ripe peaches and less sugar.
Servings: 48
Ingredients
- 8 cups ripe peaches peeled and sliced (about 4 cups blended)
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1.75 oz. box low-sugar pectin (I use Sure-Jell Low Sugar- the pink box) or 6 tbsp other low-sugar pectin
Instructions
- Start by preparing peaches. Place peach slices in a food processor and pulse until mostly blended but still a little chunky.
- Next, combine sugar and pectin in a medium-sized saucepan. Whisk together until combined.
- Pour water into the pan with sugar and pectin and stir. Heat on medium-high until it reaches a boil, stirring regularly. Allow to boil for 1 minute, stirring regularly. Remove from heat.
- Add peaches and lemon juice to the pan. Stir to combine thoroughly.
- Transfer peach jam mixture immediately to 8 oz. or smaller containers with lids. I prefer to use half-pint mason jars with lids.
- Allow to cool for about 30 minutes and then place in the fridge to continue setting for 24 hours. Keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to a year.
Notes
- Make sure to leave 1/2 inch of space at the top of your container before freezing to allow room for expansion.
