Tips for Perfect Freezer Preserves

- Label containers with date and contents to keep track of batches.
How This Jam Became a Family Favorite
I made this jam one summer when I had a basket of peaches teetering on overripe. A quick freezer jam experiment later, I was hooked—and so was my family. It’s now our favorite way to enjoy peaches through the winter, especially on warm toast with a little butter.
What to Serve with Cinnamon Peach Jam
Slather it on toast, swirl it into oatmeal or yogurt, or layer it in parfaits. It also makes a gorgeous glaze for grilled chicken or pork. Bonus: It’s a thoughtful homemade gift when tucked into a cute jar.
How to Store and Use
Store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks once opened. Freeze unopened containers for up to a year. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before using. Stir if needed.
FAQs
Can I use white peaches?
Yes, but they’ll create a paler jam with a slightly different flavor.
Can I reduce the sugar?
Only if using low-sugar pectin like Sure-Jell for less sugar. Regular pectin requires specific sugar amounts to set properly.
Can I use frozen peaches?
Yes, just thaw and drain well before mashing.
Is this jam shelf-stable?
No—this is a freezer jam and must be stored in the fridge or freezer.
