Mountain Road Ranch Spiced Peach Freezer Jam
4 -5 cups fresh peaches,thoroughly mashed
½ to 1 cup sugar, depending on sweetness of peaches (or can substitute agave or honey for a healthier version)
1 Tb. Lemon juice
½ cup of Ultra Gel (modified food starch that does not require cooking-- available at Kitchen supply stores)
1 Tb. High quality vanilla
1 t. pumpkin pie spice (or a combination of cinnamon, ginger, clove, allspice, nutmeg) (OR use those essential oils, barely one drop each)
3-5 drops of tangerine or orange essential oil (optional, but gives it a nice "zip")
Thoroughly mix all ingredients. Pour into sterilized clean jars. Freeze or refrigerate. Keeps 10-14 days in fridge, 1 year in freezer.
Makes a great ice cream topping or French toast topping.
