INGREDIENTS
Fruit: I use an 8-ounce can of pineapple chunks in juice and 5 medium-sized, ripe peaches. To prep the peaches, I lightly peel them, leaving most of the skin on, before pitting and cutting them into chunks. If you prefer to use fresh pineapple you absolutely can.
Pectin: You’ll need one 1.75-ounce box of powdered pectin to make this jam.
Sugar: Make sure to have 4 cups of good old-fashioned granulated sugar on hand.
HOW TO MAKE PEACH PINEAPPLE FREEZER JAM
STEP ONE: Start by lightly peeling the peaches, removing the pits, and cutting them into quarters or chunks. Strain the juice from the canned pineapple chunks and add them to a food processor along with the peach chunks. Pulverize the fruit chunks until they’re pureed to the texture you prefer.
STEP TWO: Transfer the peach and pineapple puree to a medium saucepan along with the box of pectin and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Next, add 4 cups of granulated sugar and continue to stir for a minute over the heat.
STEP THREE: Once the Peach Pineapple Freezer Jam is ready, remove it from the heat and stir it regularly for another 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into clean, sterilized jam jars while still hot.
STEP FOUR: Allow the jam to cool to room temperature before placing the sealed jars into the fridge or freezer. If refrigerating, allow the jam to set overnight before serving.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- Don’t completely peel the peaches because this recipe relies on the additional pectin found in the fruit skin.
- Don’t worry if the jam consistency is a little bit thinner than you’re used to. This is totally normal for freezer jam!
- Once jarred, allow the jam to cool to room temperature before placing it in the fridge or freezer for storage.
WHAT IS FREEZER JAM?
Freezer jam is simply jam that hasn’t gone through any canning process. Freezer jam needs to be stored in the freezer or fridge and has a shorter shelf life than traditional jam. This homemade peach and pineapple freezer jam can be made in just 15 minutes and maintains the freshest fruit flavors! The best things aren’t made to last forever!
HOW LONG DOES PEACH PINEAPPLE FREEZER JAM LAST?
This delicious jam can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 year! Just remember to allow it to cool to room temperature before sealing it and placing it in the freezer. When you’re ready to defrost it, simply place it in the fridge and let it defrost overnight. This Peach Pineapple Freezer Jam will last up to 3 weeks in the fridge.
