5 half-pints SERVINGS
Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped peaches
- Unsweetened apple juice
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice, optional
- 1 package (1-3/4 ounces) no-sugar-needed pectin
- 2-3/4 to 3 teaspoons sweetener (such as Equal), to taste
- 2 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice
Directions
- Prepare freezer jars according to manufacturer’s instructions.
- Place peaches in a strainer set over a glass measuring cup. Drain the juice, and then add enough apple juice to make a total of 1 cup of juice.
- Combine juice and allspice in a saucepan. Slowly add pectin, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, and stir in peaches, sweetener and lemon juice.
- Pour mixture into jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Wipe jar rims, and put on lids. Let stand at room temperature for 4 hours.
- Jam may be refrigerated up to 3 weeks or frozen up to 6 months.Want more home-canning recipes? Read Preserving and Canning Recipes for Garden Produce to get the most out of your harvest this year.
