Millions of peaches.

Made fresh home-made, sugar-free peach cinnamon jam tonight. #yum #fallcooking #canning #jam #peaches #millionsofpeaches #cooking #homemade #sugarfreecooking #photooftheday

Here's the recipe I used:
Sugar-Free Jam with Stevia

1 3/4 ounce packet no-sugar-needed pectin
3/4 -1 cup cold water
2 1/2-3 cups of prepared fruit - fresh or frozen (raspberries, strawberries,
blueberries, apples/applesauce, bananas, peaches, pears, etc.)
1/2 Tbsp. Steviva stevia (if you use a different brand, you'll have to use
more because it will be cut with maltodextrin)
Spices according to taste: Cinammon, Ground Cloves, Ground Ginger, Nutmeg,
Cardamom, Vanilla Extract (in banana jam) or Almond Extract (great in peach
jam)

1. Peel, chop or mash fruit according to desired consistency (preferably
with a food processor, or by hand).

2. In small saucepan, combine pectin and water. Over medium heat, bring to
a boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add to mashed fruit and
stir for 1 minute. Add Stevia and spices and stir for 2 more minutes.

3. Fill jars to 1/2 inch from the top. Seal and let stand until they reach
room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled, or place jam in freezer. Or can.
