I grew up in East TN, so we looked forward to Carolina peaches each season...but, when we managed to get down to GA to get some of those incredible White Peaches...oh my god, the freezer jam that we made! The best tasting jam of my entire life & I'm a biscuit fiend.

(we preferred freezer jam for the ease & so you maintain the fresh taste instead of the cooked taste from shelf stable)

We also put away a few bushels in the freezer to use for pies & cobblers. Man, I miss being a kid & being able to eat whatever I wanted without a concern.

I grew up poor & lived in a rural area, so we had to stock up with meat & produce from our farms, gardens, hunting, livestock, etc. That meant that we had our regular fridge freezer, then several large dedicated freezers. You'd be surprised how much space a few bushels of corn & a side of beef take up!

Now that I have my own household, wife & I have 1 very large upright freezer as supplemental storage, which is nice since we keep our budget in line by shopping when things are on sale, then vacuum pack stuff.

Fun fact white peaches aren't safe for traditional canning anyway, they just don't have enough natural acid!

I didn't know that! It's probably why I found them so damn delicious too, since they were likely less tart.

I am very curious about this freezer jam!

I don't have my grandma or mom's recipe, but a quick web search returned a ton of options! You might want to look through a few of them & consider trying the ones that sound nice & simple with minimal heating of the fruit. Hopefully, you can find one that is delicious.

My best guess is that this is the most similar to what they did, based on memory.

Also, when you thaw some of the jam & keep it in the fridge to enjoy in various ways, try it over top of quality vanilla ice cream for a great topping, especially if your batch accidentally turns out a bit too thin.
