No Peel No Pectin Peach Freezer Jam Ingredients
Peaches: Sweet, juicy peaches are the star of this jam. No peeling required, just pit and chop. Nectarines also work well here.
Sugar: Balances tartness and helps thicken the jam as it cooks. You can adjust the sweetness based on your peaches.
Lemon juice: Freshly squeezed juice adds brightness and helps the jam set naturally without pectin.
How to Make No Peel No Pectin Peach Freezer Jam
Place the chopped peaches in a large saucepan. Use a potato masher to lightly crush the fruit, releasing juices but keeping some texture.
You can also use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
Stir in the sugar and lemon juice until combined.
Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 30-40 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to clean jars or freezer-safe containers.
Once cooled, refrigerate to set or freeze for longer storage.
Storing and Reheating (If There’s Any Leftovers!)
Refrigerate: Store in airtight jars for 1 week.
Freeze: Keep in freezer-safe containers for up to 6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using.
Reheat: Not needed, just stir well after thawing if separation occurs.
