Print Recipe

A simple, no-cook peach freezer jam made with just ripe peaches, sugar, and fruit pectin. This quick recipe captures fresh peach flavor without the fuss of cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups peeled, pitted, and mashed ripe peaches (about 6–8 medium peaches)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 package (1.75 oz or 49g) powdered fruit pectin designed for freezer jams
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by washing thoroughly. Peel by blanching in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water; skins should slip off. Pit and roughly chop the peaches, then mash with a potato masher until desired chunkiness.
  2. In a separate small bowl, combine granulated sugar and powdered fruit pectin. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
  3. Sprinkle the sugar-pectin mixture evenly over the mashed peaches. Stir gently but thoroughly for 3 to 5 minutes until sugar is fully dissolved and mixture thickens slightly. Add lemon juice if using and stir to incorporate.
  4. Spoon the jam into clean, freezer-safe jars or containers, leaving about ½-inch headspace. Wipe rims clean and seal tightly.
  5. Place jars in the freezer and allow jam to set for 24 hours. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture and flavor. Stir sugar and pectin thoroughly for 3-5 minutes to ensure proper setting. Leave ½-inch headspace in containers to allow for expansion. Jam will look runny initially but firms after freezing. Peeling peaches is recommended for smooth texture but optional for rustic style. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
