Raspberry peach freezer jam is the perfect thing to make this time of year when fresh peaches are ripe and sweet. I am a big fan of the raspberry and peach combination, the raspberries add a perfect amount of tartness to the sweet peach flavor. You have to be careful to use fewer raspberries than peaches though because their flavor will overpower if used in equal amounts.Homemade jam is the perfect way to dress up a slice of toast, a peanut butter sandwich, a fancy croissant, and so many more things. I love that I can make a big batch of this and it will stay good in the freezer for an entire year until it’s time to make a new batch!
Raspberry Peach Freezer Jam Ingredients
Fresh peaches and raspberries are a MUST! This homemade freezer jam is just what any fruit-loving person needs. This jam is simple to make and creates the best freezer jam kids to adults love to enjoy!
Peaches – Clean and slice the peaches into small pieces. You will want to find fresh ripe peaches that are just enough juice but not too much that the jam is too liquidy. They will be mushed until smooth. Raspberries – Fresh fruit is best! Wash and pat dry the raspberries before mashing them. Raspberries are softer compared to peaches and can be mashed easily. Lemon juice – Fresh lemon juice is key in this freezer jam recipe. It will help keep the consistency as well as how long it will stay fresh. Sugar – This balances out all the flavors and reduces the tart taste that some fruits have. Fruit pectin – Helps thicken the jam and creates that jam bond that forms together while resting. Light corn syrup – This will help replace some of the sugar from the jam. Using corn syrup instead helps reduce the amount of sugar that is being used. Almond extract – Added for extra flavoring!
How to Make Raspberry Peach Jam
Be sure to follow the recipe exactly, using the wrong amount of sugar or skipping the lemon juice will result in bad consistency and how long it will stay fresh. The fruit mixture is the perfect combination of sweet and savory with a little tart bite.

Storing – Make sure that your jars or containers have tight-fitting lids when storing them in the refrigerator or freezer. You also want to have clean jars before adding the jam to them. Blender – Use a blender to break down the peaches and mash them to be smooth. Serving – Try this jam over top ice cream for a delicious dessert or enjoy it for breakfast with your waffles, pancakes, or french toast! Even add a bit to smoothies to give them an extra kick! Timer – Set a timer to watch for the jam to boil, set up, and store. Freezer jam is simple to make but does take extra hands and make sure the timing is just right.
How to Store Raspberry Freezer Jam
Placing the jam in clean plastic containers or jars makes it easier to pull one container out of the freezer at a time as we use it. Once thawed, the jam will last in the fridge for three weeks. I like to make sure I’m not putting it in a container that is too big, or it will go bad before we use it all. The regular jam will last longer in the fridge, but I love freezer jam because I think it has a much fresher taste. The jam will stay good in the fridge for three weeks, and in the freezer for one year.
