What to do with peaches...



Here's what I did today... I mean, besides mounds of homework, and you know, laundry.  I picked up a case of peaches with my bountiful basket order last Saturday.  I love peaches.  Seemed like a great idea at the time.  But here's the thing... no matter how much you LOVE peaches, a case of them is kind of a lot, considering only 3 people still live in my house.  And here's the other thing... probably the most important of the two... I don't have any spare time.  I mean zero.  So I made this super simple freezer jam.  Couldn't have been easier... and it is sooo yummy... and the best part?  It was fast.  You gotta love fast.  Here's the recipe:





Jello Freezer Jam
5 c. fruit
4 c. sugar
1 (3 oz.) pkg. Jello
Let fruit and sugar set for one hour. Then boil ten minutes. Add Jello and boil two minutes. Put in jars.
 
  That's it.  I swear.  And it's so good.  I used peaches with raspberry jello, but the combinations could be endless. I tripled the recipe and ended up with 9 pints (18 cups).  Not too shabby.  Now back to the schoolbooks...
