My mom truly spoiled my siblings and I with her delicious cooking. We always had some type of baked treat hanging around (who needs Oreo’s!), a made-from-scratch dinner (though when I was the last child left a home we sometimes just had popcorn and ice cream for dinner but no complaints there!), enjoyed a tasty breakfast like crepes even on a school day, and ALWAYS had a jar jars of homemade jam in the fridge and freezer. 
Throughout my entire life I have only bought a jar of jam once… and that was a big mistake. Once you try homemade freezer jam you will never go back to store bought. Seriously! 
So why is it so superior?
1) It’s homemade, aka- made with extra TLC.
2) It’s made with deliciously ripe fruit so it tastes A-mazing! (keep reading to see what I like to put it on)
3) When made with fruit that is in season it is very affordable. This batch of jam that yields four 1 pint jars cost me about $8.
4) You don’t have to know how to can or worry about killing your family with botulism. This liquid (semi-liquid?) gold is stored in the freezer.
5) It’s easy to make! Wash and mash up your fruit, add some pectin, give it a few stirs, add some sugar and heat it just enough so that the sugar dissolves. Pour it in your mason jars or Tupperware and freeze it… but keep one jar in the fridge of course for immediate use.
I’ve already shared with you a recipe for Strawberry Freezer Jam, Raspberry Freezer Jam, and Blackberry Jam, but this Raspberry Peach Freezer Jam is my absolute favorite! The combination of the strong raspberries and sweet peaches is amazing. It tastes awesome on a PB&J, rolls, bagels, toast,… really anything. You can even use it in some recipes like this coffee cake or this Swiss Roll! It’s so good you’ll want to lick the spoon when you are done applying the jam to whatever it is you’re eating.
Lately, Carly and I have been gulping this stuff down for breakfast on our toast with peanut butter. I recently discovered that it’s also yummy on a bagel with cream cheese.

Freezer Jam Recipe Tutorial
Raspberry Peach Freezer Jam
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed raspberries, about 3-4 6-ounce containers
- 1 1/2 cups mashed peaches, peeled (about 3-4 fresh peaches)
- 1 package Sure Jell Pectin
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 4 1/2 cups sugar
Instructions
- Mash (with a potato masher or if you don't want any chunks you can use a blender) and measure your fruit (dip peaches in boiling water for about 45 seconds to make peeling easier).
- Mix raspberries and peaches together in a large pot. Sift in the pectin a little at a time while stirring.
- Once all the pectin is mixed in, set a timer for 30 minutes and give the fruit a stir every 7-10 minutes.
- After the 30 minutes, mix in the corn syrup and then place the pot on the stove over medium heat. Stir in the sugar a little at a time and cook for about 5 minutes until the sugar is dissolved (when jam reaches 100 degrees F).
- Pour jam into clean plastic containers or glass jars.
- Jam lasts 1-2 months in the fridge and up to 1 year in the freezer.

I made it today. It turned out great! Can you add half the sugar and still get the same results?
I would like to know why you use corn syrup and is there a substitute for it or can I leave it out completely. I’m completely against corn syrup. Why ruin a perfectly delicious recipe w/such an ingredient.
Hi Hilda! The corn syrup helps to prevent the sugar from crystallizing. You can try to leave it out but I can’t guarantee the same results.
Just made this jam today. It’s absolutely amazing! Very sweet but like you said – that’s jam! Definitely a keeper!!
Terri, I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! 🙂
May you sub jello for pectin? Thanks.
I don’t think that would work exactly the same. I recommend using pectin. You can find it next to the canning jars in the aisle with paper plates and aluminum foil.
Melanie, this Raspberry Peach Freezer Jam is just gorgeous! Thank you for allowing me to feature it in my peach recipe round-up on my blog. I hope you have a great day!
How much does this recipe yield?
I love the idea of freezer jams or even just fruits & veggies. Being new I dont want to spend a fortune on the huge pot & rack & all the things to go with it if I can just do a little cooking then pop it in the freezer.
I would think even if it comes out runny it could be used for so many things. Toppings, shakes, ice cream, waffles, pancake. french toast, smoothies or even a glaze on some meats & veggies.
Im going to pick blue berries & raspberries this wkend then a bit further north for strawberries. After the 1st of July Im going for Black berries. Cant wait.
Also please add me to your mailing list. Thank You & thanks for sharing. Bubbe
Bubbe, You are going to love this freezer jam! It’s so easy and tastes amazing. I like it better than cooked jam. I’ve added you to my mailing list. Thanks for following! 🙂
Can you use frozen peahes as they are out of season now?
Bonnie, I haven’t ever used frozen or canned for this. As long as they you let them thaw and they taste good then I’d say go ahead and use them!
Just tried your recipe and jam turned out great!!! 🙂
After reading everyone’s comments I made slight changes.
I used a potato masher on the fruit. Do not puree because you want
Pieces of fruit in it. Also, mash fruit 1st, then measure it exactly for the recipe.
I also added 2 Level Tablespoons of Raspberry Jell-o, after I added the pectin.
This gave additional flavor along with thickening it. So it wasn’t runny.
Otherwise, I followed your recipe as you wrote it.
We consider it a keeper recipe!!! Thank you!!!
Hi there!
I tried making this last night, and it turned out perfectly! Exactly the same consistency and look as your photos. And it tastes absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for posting this.
Jamie, I’m so glad you like it! It’s so good on… everything!!! Thanks for your comment. 🙂
Bought the ingrediants today. Gonna make this tomorrow! Sounds so yum! Thanks for sharing .
Yay! You’ll love it Terri! Happy eating! 🙂
We made 5 batches today. The consistency was perfect and the taste was amazing! This has become my new favorite raspberry jam recipe.
Wow! That’s a ton of jam! I wish I had the freezer space for that much. I’m so glad you like it as much as I do!
Do you know how it would be without Corn syrup?
I don’t. Sorry! I just know that it is awesome the way it is. 🙂
Made this ! even though its slightly runny it is so delicious!!!!!! So happy with the results!
Charlie, Freezer jam isn’t as thick as cooked/canned jam which is probably what you’re used to. So glad you liked it though!
I am really excited about this jam. I am glad to hear I am not the only one concerned that found their jam runny. The taste makes the difference. I like the hints on how to thicken it.
Is this really sweet? do you need to add the corn syrup? thank you
Yes. It is pretty sweet. That’s jam for ya! So deliciously sweet!
Please add me to your mailing list .
Done! Thanks for signing up! 🙂
There are different sure jell packages. I use a pink one. What color is the one you use?
The pink one is for if you are making No-Sugar jam/jelly. You need the original Sure Jell pectin that comes in the yellow package for this recipe.
Can you do a water bath so it can be on a shelf instead of the freezer.
Jen, I haven’t tried that and have never done water bath canning so I’d just try to find a shelf stable raspberry jam recipe and swap out half of the raspberries for peaches.
Do you need to let this sit for 24 hours or anytime before freezing?
No. You can stick it straight in your freezer or fridge.
Way to much sugar ! Plus karo syrup,, more sugar ! Use Knox gelatin!! And less sugar …
Yep! That’s jam for ya! It’s delicious! 🙂
Is this powder form sure jell or liquid form?
Powder. It comes in a small box like the size of a box of jello.
I just made this jam and it turned out great! It is a yummy fruit combo. Thanks!
I overheated mine as well but still taste great and a very happy with the flavor. Will follow recipe exactly next time to get a thicker outcome. Will make again soon.
I learned how to make freezer jam a couple years ago. I’ve made plum and strawberry but not pea h and certainly not this combo, looks delish, gotta go off to the farmers market! Thanks for sharing
I made this and it was SUPER runny, long after 24 hours of waiting for the pectin to thicken. I reheated and added another box of pectin and it was still runny…no difference in texture at all. Any suggestions on how to salvage my runny “jam.”
I’ve never been able to salvage the runny jam…. I’ve tried but I just end up throwing it out because it never measures up to when it comes out right the first time……
Jade, if your jam came out runny it is because you cooked it too long. You barely heat it enough so that the sugar dissolves. It’s no hotter than baby’s milk, so like lukewarm. Another problem could be that your raspberries were still wet from washing them so more water was added? This jam isn’t as thick as store bought jelly (jello) though if that’s what you were expecting.
I never ever wash raspberries!!! They have nothing on them except maybe a leaf or bug and you can pick those out!!!
Wow I would just save that runny jam and put in smoothies, or put in milk.
Just use it as a syrup for pancakes, icecream, etc.
Use it as pancake/waffle syrup.
Add tapioca
Don’t throw out “ruined” jam that is runny- just freeze or keep in fridge and use for glaze on meat, pancake syrup, or ice cream topping.
Great idea Rachael!
Try adding corn starch when heating to thicken
It’s great on pancakes!!
Make sure u have a rolling boil 4 1 full minute after boiling starts that will thicken runny jam. I have done it and can’t tell there is extra pectin either
use it for syrup on pancakes or waffles!
Add tapioca
When ever I use the cheap stuff it has always turned out runny. Ever since I have used MCP Pectin I have never had any on the issues of being runny. My grandma has always told me, “Never buy cheap when you are making something that uses a lot of time and needs to always turn out every time the first time.”
I would suggest adding Ultra Gel
Use it in lemonade it great
Mmm this sounds like my jam!
