Just Peachy Freezer Jam

Peach Freezer Jam

Directions:

To Prepare your peaches for jam:

Prepare a large pot with water to boil and also a large bowl of cold water with ice.



1. When the water is at a rolling boil, slowly add your peaches to the water and allow to sit for about a minute. You will start to see the skins changing color and almost slightly lifting off the peach.

2. Remove peaches from boiling water and put directly into the ice water you have prepared.

3. Now, you should be able to get a peach out of the ice water and starting at the stem grab a piece of skin and pull. Skin all of your peaches.

4. Once you have skinned your peaches, cut them in half and take out the pits and they are now ready to puree...

Ingredients:

3/4 Cup Apple Juice
1 1.75-ounce package no-sugar-needed fruit pectin (or 3 tablespoons from a jar)
5 to 6 medium peaches, peeled and pureed in the food processor/Blender (3 cups of puree)
1 cup granulated white sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4-5 Half Pint freezer-safe glass jelly jars & lids



 Directions:

1. Heat the juice in a medium saucepan at medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. Whisk in the pectin. Continue to whisk until dissolved. Keep at a hard boil for 1 minute. Stir in all of your peach puree, sugar and cinnamon. Bring back to a boil and keep at a rolling boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

2. Transfer the mixture to a measuring cup with a spout for pouring. Divide the hot mixture between the 4-5 jars, leaving 1/2-inch room at the top of each jar.  Place the tops on the jars and let them sit at room temperature until they are completely cooled off (12 to 24 hours). After they have set put them in your freezer and enjoy! Dont forget to put one in the fridge to use now!!!
