Why You’ll Love This Cinnamon Peach Freezer Jam

This no-cook peach jam skips the pressure of traditional canning and lets you enjoy ripe fruit flavor with minimal effort. It’s lightly spiced with cinnamon, not overly sweet, and sets beautifully in the freezer for enjoyment long after peach season ends.

Ingredients:

4 cups (600 g) peeled and diced yellow peaches
2½ cups (500 g) white sugar
1 cup (240 ml) water
1 packet Sure-Jell (for less sugar) premium fruit pectin
1 tsp ground cinnamon

How to Make It:

Peel and dice the peaches. Lightly mash with a potato masher to break them down slightly.
In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and pectin. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil and stir for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Stir in peaches and cinnamon. Mix well and return to a boil, stirring for 1 minute.
Pour hot jam into clean jars or freezer-safe containers, leaving 1.25 cm (1/2 inch) headspace.
Cover and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours until set.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 1 year.

Tips for Perfect Freezer Preserves

Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor.
Make sure your containers are clean and leave enough headspace to prevent cracking when frozen.
Stir jam before serving if it separates slightly after thawing.
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.
