How to Make Peach Peeling Peach Seed Jelly

  1. Gather peach peelings and seeds from approximately 4 quarts of peaches.
  2. Place peelings and seeds in a large, heavy-bottomed pot (at least 6-quart capacity).
  3. Add just enough water to barely cover the peelings and seeds.
  4. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep overnight (approximately 8 hours).
  6. Line a fine-mesh sieve or colander with several layers of cheesecloth. Carefully pour the peach mixture through the cheesecloth, pressing gently to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
  7. Measure 3 cups of the strained peach juice and pour it into a clean, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  8. Add 1 package (1.75 ounces) of powdered pectin to the peach juice. Stir well to combine.
  9. Bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  10. Add 3 cups of granulated sugar all at once. Stir vigorously to dissolve the sugar completely.
  11. Continue to boil rapidly for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Test for setting point: a small amount of jelly dropped onto a chilled plate should wrinkle when pushed with a finger.
  12. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  13. Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  14. Wipe jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and tighten to fingertip tightness.
  15. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. Let cool completely. Check for seals (lids should not flex).
