Honeyed peach freezer salsa

• 3 cups diced peaches
• 3 cups diced cantaloupe
• ¼ cup diced red onion
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, drained and chopped
• 3 tbsp liquid honey or agave nectar
• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 tbsp chopped candied ginger
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon, optional
• 2 tbsp freezer jam pectin

Preparation
Combine the peaches, cantaloupe, red onion, garlic, chipotle peppers, honey, lime juice, candied ginger and cinnamon in a bowl. Add the pectin and stir for 3 minutes. Ladle the jam into freezer containers (bags or jars), leaving a ½" headspace. Apply the lids tightly. Let the salsa stand at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. It will not thicken as much as a jam. Freeze for up to 9 months. Refrigerate after opening for up to 2 weeks.
