Rasp/Peach Freezer Jam

Raspberry Peach Jam

 

What you need:

Peaches(chopped fine) 3 cups-about 1 1/5 lbs

Raspberries (mashed) 2 cups-about 2 pints

3 TBSP Lemon juice

6 TBSP Instant Pectin

2 cups sugar

Jars!



 Step 1: You guessed it, wash the jars!

Step 2: Put water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Place peaches in pot for 30 seconds, then immediately move to ice bath.

Step 3: Peel and pit the peaches

Step 4: Mash the raspberries in a small bowl, Mash the peaches, but leave some chunks!

 Step 5: In a large bowl combine peaches, raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and let stand for 10 minutes

Step 6: Add pectin and stir for 3 minutes

Step 7: Pour into jars

Step 8: Wipe off jars, place lid on top, and let stand for 30minutes. 

You're done! Now you can either move it to the fridge(where it will be good for 3 weeks), or move it to the freezer where it will keep for 1 year (again, I have kept it longer and it has been fine!)

 



Strawberry/Raspberry Smoothie

2 c Frozen Strawberries
2 c Apple Raspberry Juice
1 c Raspberry
1/4 c Light Yogurt(I always use vanilla because that is what I have in the house for baking purposes)

Throw all this in the blender, and turn on high.  You may have to stop and stir it a few times, but it is more than worth it trust me!  Enjoy!

Oh yeah, this makes 4 cups!
