Peach Freezer Jam - Eating Well Magazine image

I got this recipe out of the August '08 Eating Well Magazine. I made it using about 3/4 C of sugar and apple juice. It worked great. I'm putting the recipe here so I don't lose it, because my family loved it. I like the fact that it is lower in sugar than other freezer jam recipes. The magazine says not to use regular pectin in place of the no sugar needed pectin. I used Ball brand natural no sugar needed pectin. The prep time listed does not include the setting up stage after placing in jars.

Time 25m

Yield 6 8 ounce jars

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups peaches, mashed. About 6 peaches
1 3/4 cups unsweetened white grape juice or 1 3/4 cups apple juice
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 3/4 ounces of no sugar needed pectin
1 -3 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Place white grape (or apple) juice, lemon zest and lemon juice in a large saucepan.
  • Gradually stir in pectin; continue stirring until completely dissolved.
  • Place over medium-high heat and bring to a full rolling boil (a boil that cannot be "stirred down"), stirring frequently.
  • Boil hard for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
  • Immediately stir in the mashed peaches. Stir vigorously for 1 minute.
  • Stir in sugar to taste until dissolved.
  • Divide the jam among six 8-ounce canning jars, leaving at least 1/2 inch of space between the top of the jam and the top of the jar (this space allows the jam to expand as it freezes).
  • Cover with lids and let the jam stand at room temperature until set, about 24 hours.
  • Store in refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
  • This keeps 3 weeks in the refrigerator or 1 year in the freezer.

I'm not a big fan of freezer jam, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet and has a nice, tart flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.
