Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (peeled, pitted, and finely diced) Fresh peaches
- 2 cups (peeled, cored, and finely diced) Fresh pears
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (grated) Fresh ginger
- 1 pouch (about 3 ounces) Liquid fruit pectin
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely diced peaches and pears. Use a potato masher or fork to gently mash the fruits until they are slightly chunky but not fully pureed.
Add the granulated sugar to the fruit mixture and stir thoroughly until the sugar begins to dissolve.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and grated ginger, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the sugar to fully dissolve and the flavors to meld.
After 10 minutes, stir the liquid fruit pectin into the fruit mixture, making sure it’s well incorporated.
Pour the jam into clean freezer-safe containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top for expansion during freezing.
Seal the containers tightly and let the jam sit at room temperature for 24 hours to set.
Store the jam in the freezer for up to 1 year. Thaw in the refrigerator before use. Once thawed, the jam can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
