Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Fresh peaches (ripe)
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 cups Water
- 1 packet Powdered pectin
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the peaches to remove any dirt or residue.
Peel the peaches, saving the peels and seeds in a large bowl. Set the flesh of the peaches aside for another use.
In a large saucepan, add the peach peels, seeds, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes to extract flavor.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean pot, discarding the solids. You should have a clear peach-infused liquid.
Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the peach-infused liquid. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Bring the mixture back to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the powdered pectin, ensuring it’s fully combined.
Continue boiling the mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens and reaches a jelly-like consistency. You can test it by placing a small amount on a chilled plate; if it wrinkles when nudged, it’s ready.
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Pour the jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Seal tightly with lids.
Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process in a water bath for long-term storage.
