Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
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.
Stir in the lemon juice and mix well to help preserve the color and flavor of the peaches.
In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar and instant pectin. Mix thoroughly to avoid clumping.
Gradually add the sugar-pectin mixture to the peaches, stirring constantly to ensure it is evenly distributed.
Continue mixing for 3-5 minutes until the sugar and pectin have completely dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly.
Spoon the jam into clean, freezer-safe containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top to allow for expansion during freezing.
Seal the containers tightly with lids and let the jam sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to set.
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.
Thaw freezer jam in the refrigerator before using and enjoy on toast, pancakes, or your favorite desserts!
