Peach Freezer Jam - Eating Well Magazine
"I got this recipe out of the August '08 Eating Well Magazine. I made it using about 3/4 C of sugar and apple juice. It worked great. I'm putting the recipe here so I don't lose it, because my family loved it. I like the fact that it is lower in sugar than other freezer jam recipes. The magazine says not to use regular pectin in place of the no sugar needed pectin. I used Ball brand natural no sugar needed pectin.
The prep time listed does not include the setting up stage after placing in jars."
