Last week, Charmian Christie and I decided to swap guest posts for Summer Fest. Charmian wrote a wonderful post about how to make peach ice cream, which contains a recipe for the loveliest, dreamiest peach ice cream I’ve ever had. Seriously, you have to try this stuff.
My post for Christie’s Corner talks about making peach freezer jam, a great introductory project if you’re intimidated by actual heat-processed canning. You can make perfect freezer jam in less than half an hour, and imagine the satisfaction you’ll feel at having preserved your own summer fruit. Be sure to check it out – and get the kids involved!
Yes, you can enjoy peaches in January:
Peach freezer jam is super easy to make!

Damn, this looks so tasty! I need to try this!
Thanks! It’s super easy… maybe we should do a jam afternoon.
I love to make jam but have never made freezer jam. I’ll have to give it a try!
Hope you enjoy it! It’s so easy it’s almost ridiculous.
my freezer jams are coming out alittle runny…do you have any suggestions on how to thicken them up alittle?
I have the same question….my peach and apricot freezer jams are always too runny even though I use the suggested amount of sugar. My strawberry is always perfect. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
We just planted a peach tree in our back yard this year, so the peaches we don’t use in Peach Cobbler (my favorite dessert of all time) will be going into freezer jam. Thanks for sharing!
