I just recieved two HUGE boxes of peaches from my folks's ranch and all the freezer jam recipes I could find were too complicated or sugar laden. Love your blog. And I'll think of you as I bag the whole knife thing and scrape the peach peels off with my bare hands and eat myself sick:) Oh PRAISE be!

Just wanted to let you know in case you were thinking of shipping him your lovely treat! Hi Anne,

To add to what Charmian noted, your nephew is totally safe to eat freezer jam – though the jam must remain frozen (or at the least refrigerated) in transit. Just wanted to let you know in case you were thinking of shipping him your lovely treat!

Mixed berry is one of my favourites. <br /><br />As for your nephew? The jam should be fine for him. It has no dairy in it so it's clear on the non-dairy front. And on the gluten-free front, jams and jellies are that, too. <br /><br />Pectin is a CARBOHYDRATE. It's a naturally occurring gelling agent found in the cell walls of some fruits and vegetables. Apples are highest in pectin. But gluten is a PROTEIN found in wheat, rye and barley. <br /><br />Your nephew should be fine with the jam, but not with a jam tart because of the crust.<br /><br />You're wise to double check. If you're really concerned, put a list of ingredients on the jam.<br /><br />Hope he likes the gift. He's lucky to have such a thoughtful and concerned aunt. Anne, glad you liked your jam.

It is delicious and easy just like you said. <br /><br /> I am wondering if I can send some to my nephew, he does not eat gluten or dairy. Do you know if freezer jam meets both of these requirements? This may sound silly, but I am unclear on all of the pectin ingredients. <br /><br />Thanks I just finished my first batch of freezer jam (triple berry). It is delicious and easy just like you said.

If you make it again, please report back and let us know how it goes!<br /><br />Stephanie<br /><a href="http://www.wasabimon.com/archive/peach-elderberry-jam/" rel="nofollow">Peach Elderberry jam</a> @ Wasabimon!

It calls for adding the sugar to the mashed berries and letting it stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then adding the pectin to the lemon juice and adding that mixture into the sweetened fruit and stirring for three minutes.<br /><br />I'll try again and stir longer but, otherwise, not sure what else I can do.

Now I am experimenting with preserves-made a peach/red pepper preserve last year-It disappeared too quickly so plan on making 2 or 3 batches.As well make 4 different recipes of chili sauce. Some with more of a fruit base than tomato.
