A quick and simple peach freezer jam recipe that captures the fresh, sweet flavor of summer peaches. Perfect for busy mornings and loved by kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups peeled and mashed fresh peaches (about 6–7 medium peaches)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar (adjustable for sweetness)
  • 1 package fruit pectin (Sure-Jell recommended)
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water to loosen the skin. Peel, pit, and chop the peaches to yield about 4 cups mashed peaches.
  2. Mash the peaches using a potato masher or fork to your preferred texture, leaving some small chunks if desired.
  3. In a small saucepan, warm 1/2 cup water over medium heat and stir in the fruit pectin until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes. Do not boil.
  4. Add the sugar and lemon juice to the mashed peaches and stir gently to combine.
  5. Pour the warm pectin mixture into the peach-sugar mixture and stir thoroughly for 3 minutes to ensure even distribution.
  6. Spoon the jam into clean jars or plastic containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Seal tightly with lids.
  7. Place the containers in the freezer. The jam will set overnight and can be stored frozen for up to one year. Once thawed, keep refrigerated and consume within 3 weeks.

Notes

The jam may be loose immediately after mixing but firms up after freezing. Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Stir the jam mixture for the full 3 minutes to ensure proper setting. Store jam in the freezer up to one year; once thawed, refrigerate and consume within 3 weeks. For chunkier jam, mash less; for smoother jam, mash more.
