This easy peach freezer jam is made with fresh peaches, vanilla bean and fruit pectin. It makes about 5 cups and takes roughly 15 minutes.
Freezer jam is a great way to use up fresh peaches. There is very little cooking involved, so the jam tastes like the fresh fruit, and a vanilla bean adds a wonderful fragrance. You can make about 5 cups of this peach vanilla jam in roughly 15 minutes, and then it just waits in the freezer, ready for toast, pancakes or yogurt.

Ingredients for peach freezer jam
- Fresh Peaches – 3 cups, peeled, seeded and sliced.
- Lemon Juice – 1 tablespoon, fresh-squeezed.
- Sugar – 1 1/2 cups.
- Vanilla Bean – 1/2 of a vanilla bean, split in half lengthwise.
- Fruit Pectin – One 1.75 ounce box. I used SURE-JELL, but any brand of pectin works.
- Water – 1/2 cup.
Instructions for peach freezer jam
Peel, seed and slice the fresh peaches.
In a large glass bowl, add the peaches, lemon juice and sugar. Mash together with a potato masher. You will still have some small chunks of fresh peaches with the juice.
Scrape the vanilla bean into the bowl and mix well. Let stand for about 10 minutes.
In a small saucepan, mix together the pectin and water. Heat over high and boil the mixture for 1 minute.
Add the pectin mixture to the peach mixture and stir constantly for 3 minutes.
Ladle the peach jam into clean 1-cup jars. I used Ball freezer jars. Freeze until ready to use.
