Best Canned Peaches Light No Sugar Added Recipes

NO-SUGAR PEACH PRESERVES

Steps:

• Fill a canner pot half-full with water and bring to a simmer. Wash jars and rings in warm soapy water; rinse with warm water. Place lids in a saucepan off the heat; pour boiling water on top. Let stand until ready to use.
• Measure 3 cups of peaches into a 6- or 8-inch saucepot. Stir in 3/4 cup water. Gradually add pectin, stirring until well blended. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in sucralose. Skim foam off the surface of the jam using a metal spoon.
• Ladle jam immediately into the prepared jars, filling to within 1/8-inch from the tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with lids and rings; screw bands tightly. Place jars on an elevated rack in the canner. Lower the rack to cover the jars with 1 to 2 inches of water, adding more boiling water if necessary. Cover and bring water to a simmer.
• Process the jam for 10 minutes. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely, 2 to 3 hours. Check seals by pressing the middle of lid with your finger; if lid springs back, lid is not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.

Steps:

• Sterilize canning jars and rings by simmering them in hot water for at least 10 minutes, til ready to use, have lids nearby.
• In another saucepan, dip fruit in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds, until skins loosen. Dip quickly into ice water and slip off skins. Cut in half, remove pits and slice. Mix citric acid with a 1/4 of a cup of water, coat peaches to prevent darkening.
• Pack slices into jars, almost to the top.
• Bring the juice to a boil, add peach skins and pits if desired, simmer for a few minutes. Remove skins and pits and discard. Ladle juice over peaches, leaving 1/2 an inch of headspace.
• Adjust lids and process in a boiling water canner, with jars covered by 2 inches of water, for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove jars from canner, allow to cool for 12 hours.
• Unscrew metal rings to make sure lids are sealed. Each lid should be indented in the center. Store in a cool, dry, dark place for no longer then one year.
