I have a thing for freezer jam. A lifetime love affair actually. If my taste buds had them, they'd drop to their knees with each bite. It's the fresh fruit flavor that gets me every time because freezer jam is never heated which means the fruit isn't cooked. You mash, dice, mix and pour. The only heated ingredients are the water and pectin.
And it's super easy to make. No special equipment needed other than your clean sterile jars.
Peaches are in season right now....juicy and bursting with flavor. Perfect for making jam. Add a bit of ginger and you've taken things to a whole new level. Fresh, sweet and zingy.
Did I mention easy? (just want to make sure that sinks in).
Wash and peel your peaches and you're ready to roll!
Here's a little ginger tip before you get started. Use the edge of a spoon to scrape the skin off your ginger.
Want another tip? Keep your ginger in the freezer. Not only does it prolong the life, but frozen ginger grates super easily!
Ginger Peach Freezer Jam
Inspired by: Sure-Jell Peach Jam3 cups cubed fresh peaches (about 2 lbs fully ripe peaches)
2 TB fresh grated ginger
2 TB fresh squeezed lemon juice
4 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
6 tablespoons fruit pectin
In a food processor, pulse your peaches until the desired chunkiness. Don't puree it. You want some of those bits and pieces of fresh fruit. This is jam, not jelly.
In a large bowl, combine the peaches, ginger, lemon juice and sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally
.
In a sauce pan, combine the water and pectin. Bring to a boil then stir while boiling, for 1 minutes.
Add the pectin to the peach mixture and stir for 3 minutes.
Pour into sterile jars within 1/2 inch from the rim. Put on the lids and let sit at room temperature for 24 hrs.
Store in the freezer for up to a year. Once opened, it keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Spread a little yumminess over your bagel and cream cheese for a breakfast treat.
Besides the obvious toast or bagel application, this will be great as an ice cream topping, or used as a glaze for some grilled pork tenderloin.
