Peach Freezer Jam – Original Pectin

Fruit Pectin crystals allow you to make a fresh tasting and easy-to-make jam without any cooking. Because this jam is not heat processed, it must be kept in the freezer for long term storage-hence its name.

Ingredients:

  • 2-1/4 cups (550 ml) finely chopped peaches, about 2 lb (1 kg)
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) lemon juice
  • 4 1/2 cups (1125 ml) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (175 ml) water
  • 1 pkg (57 g) BERNARDIN® Original Fruit Pectin

Directions:

  • Wash and rinse 5 BERNARDIN® Freezer Jars and lids or 250 ml mason jars and closures.
  • Wash, pit, peel, and chop peaches.
  • In a large bowl, thoroughly stir together 2-1/4 cups (550 ml) prepared peaches, lemon juice and sugar. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, gradually whisk Original fruit pectin into water until dissolved. Stirring frequently, bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil hard 1 minute.
  • Combine hot pectin mixture with fruit mixture; stir 3 minutes.
  • Ladle jam into jars, leaving 1/2 inch (1 cm) headspace. Wipe jar rims removing any residue. Apply lids tightly. Let stand until thickened, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks, freeze up to 1 year, or serve right away.
