Ingredients:
- 5 1/2 cups of fresh peach juice
- 1 packet of pectin
- 7 1/2 cups of sugar
Instructions:
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by combining the fresh peach juice and pectin in a large saucepot. |
| 2 | Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, ensuring that all ingredients are well incorporated. |
| 3 | Stir in the sugar gradually, allowing it to dissolve completely into the mixture. Return the mixture to a rolling boil. |
| 4 | Let the mixture boil vigorously for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking or burning. This step helps activate the pectin and achieve the desired jelly consistency. |
| 5 | Once the 3 minutes have elapsed, remove the saucepot from the heat source to prevent further cooking. |
| 6 | Skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface of the jelly mixture. This ensures a smoother texture in the finished product. |
| 7 | Using a ladle, carefully transfer the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top to allow for expansion during processing. |
| 8 | Seal the jars tightly with lids and rings to prevent any contamination or spoilage. |
| 9 | Process the filled jars in a boiling water canner for 5 minutes to ensure proper sealing and preservation of the jelly. |
| 10 | After processing, carefully remove the jars from the canner and place them on a clean, dry surface to cool completely. |
| 11 | Once cooled, check the seals on the jars to ensure they are airtight and properly preserved. |
| 12 | Store the Peach Jelly in a cool, dark place for optimal flavor and longevity. Enjoy it spread generously on toast, biscuits, or your favorite breakfast pastry! |
This Peach Jelly recipe yields approximately 8 half pints of delicious homemade goodness. With its tangy-sweet flavor and delightful aroma, it’s sure to become a staple in your pantry. So grab those ripe peaches and get ready to create something truly special! ๐
