Peach Freezer Jam



Yield: Five 8-oZ jars
Prep Time: 30 min
Cook Time: 10 min

Ingredients:
3/4 cup unsweetened white grape or apple juice
One 1.75-ounce package no-sugar-needed fruit pectin (or 3 tablespoons from a jar)
5 to 6 medium peaches, peeled, diced and coarsely pureed in the blender (3 cups of puree)
1 cup granulated white sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Five 8-ounce freezer-safe glass jelly jars & lids (cleaned and dried)

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 3 cups of 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 (it will be very runny). Divide the hot mixture between the 5 jars, leaving 1/2-inch room at the top of each jar (room for expansion during the freezing process). Place the tops on the jars and let them sit at room temperature until they are completely cooled off (12 to 24 hours). Put one jar in your refrigerator to use now, and put the rest in your freezer to use later!
