Make a simple and delicious peach jelly that captures the fresh taste of summer peaches. This recipe is perfect for preserving peak-ripeness fruit.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and finely chopped
  • 4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 (1.75 ounce) package fruit pectin

Instructions

  1. Prepare your canning jars and lids by sterilizing them. Keep them hot until ready to fill.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped peaches and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are soft, about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Gradually stir in the fruit pectin until it is fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil that cannot be stirred down.
  4. Add the sugar all at once, stirring constantly until it dissolves. Return the mixture to a full rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat. Skim off any foam from the surface of the jelly using a metal spoon.
  6. Carefully ladle the hot jelly into the prepared hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, center the lids, and screw on the bands until fingertip tight.
  8. Process the jars in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes.
  9. Turn off the heat, remove the canner lid, and let the jars stand in the hot water for 5 minutes.
  10. Remove the jars from the canner and place them on a wire rack to cool completely. Check seals after 12-24 hours.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not reduce the amount of sugar, as it is crucial for proper setting and preservation.
  • For a smoother jelly, you can mash the peaches more thoroughly or use an immersion blender before adding the pectin.
  • Always follow proper canning procedures to ensure food safety.
