A quick and easy freezer jam made with fresh ripe peaches, sugar, and powdered fruit pectin. Ready in just 30 minutes without boiling or canning, perfect for capturing the taste of summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups peeled and mashed fresh ripe peaches (about 6–7 medium peaches)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 box (1.75 oz or 49g) powdered fruit pectin
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: Wash and peel peaches by scoring an ‘X’ on the bottom and blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water. Peel off skins, pit, and mash peaches to desired texture (about 4 cups mashed).
  2. In a large bowl, combine mashed peaches with 3 cups sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out juices.
  3. In a medium saucepan, dissolve 1 box powdered fruit pectin in 1/2 cup water. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  4. Pour hot pectin mixture into the peach-sugar mixture and stir vigorously for 3 minutes to activate gelling.
  5. Spoon jam quickly into clean, sterilized jars or freezer containers, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace. Seal tightly.
  6. Place jars in the refrigerator for 24 hours to set, then store in the freezer for up to 12 months.

Notes

Use ripe, juicy peaches for best results. Let the peach and sugar mixture sit before adding pectin to develop flavor and juice. Stir vigorously for 3 minutes after adding hot pectin to ensure proper setting. Sterilize containers to avoid spoilage. If jam doesn’t set, it may be due to under-ripe fruit or incorrect pectin measurement.
