Peach Scrap Jelly Recipe
To make the juice:
5-7 quarts of peach peels and pits
Cover the scraps with water. Boil ten minutes. Remove from heat and let the scraps sit at least 8 hours- overnight. Strain the juice from the scraps.
To make the jelly:
Add four cups of juice, 1 box of Sure-jell powdered pectin, and 1 teaspoon of butter to a large kettle. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil. Add 5-1/2 cups of sugar at once. Stir continuously and bring back to a rolling boil. Once at a rolling boil, boil exactly one minute. Remove the jelly from heat, skim foam, and fill jars to 1/2 inch headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars and seal with a lid and ring. Place the jars in the canner and process for 10 minutes.
This is not an approved recipe. As with any canning recipe, you always can at your own risk. I always encourage you to do your research before canning anything. You are important, and I want you to be informed. ❤️
Love you all!

Here’s a like for that opening picture and a comment to feed the algorithm. Thank you for the recipes!

That's so sweet! Thank you! ❤️

I just peeled some peaches I got from the orchard. Your video was extremely detailed and I appreciate it. I can’t wait to get started!

[@mymodernhomestead]

@@eujackmac , that is so exciting! I'm so glad the video was useful! I still need to go get my peaches for this year. I hope your peaches turn out well!

[@sheliacunningham214]

I made 4 batches of this jelly today. Beautiful. I still have the peels and would love to make something with them if you can let me know or have a recipe for something. Thanks so much.

[@mymodernhomestead]

Wow! That is awesome! You have been busy! I have made anything with my peels other than jelly, but you could probably make syrup or hard candy/suckers. Don't have recipes for those, though. Congratulations on your hard work today!

[@lisalisa3652]

You could make peach pepper jelly with them. I have 10 half pints in the canner right now. 😋

[@mymodernhomestead]

@@lisalisa3652 , you could. I like to make my peach pepper jelly with actual peach flesh, though. I have got that on my list to get done this summer. I've got to make a triple batch. My guys fly through it.

[@michaela4551]

I would like to make a SMALL BATCH of this recipe (only have 2 quarts of peels and pits). Do you have a recipe I could use?

[@mymodernhomestead]

I think you can make this jelly with that amount of peels and pits. I would just add five to six cups of water. Let it sit a long while after boiling to become well-concentratred. When you are ready, strain the liquid well to get 4 cups of juice with which to make the jelly. 😊

@@mymodernhomestead thank you.. I'll give that a try

@@michaela4551 , you are very welcome! I hope it turns out well for you! ❤️

@@mymodernhomestead How much water for cooking peach peeling. Ty

[@mymodernhomestead]

@@lorraineingram6779 , thanks for stopping by and watching. I didn't measure the water. I just used enough to cover the scraps. I would say to use at least 5-6 cups, though. If when you measure out your juice you don't have quite enough to make the jelly, you can add a little water to your strained juice to make up the difference. I hope that helps. 🥰

Hello! Thank you for this video. Are those half pint jars you are using?

[@mymodernhomestead]

You are very welcome! Yes, they are regular half pint jelly jars. ☺️

I have some peaches I've canned about 2 years ago, can I make them into jam?

[@mymodernhomestead]

Hmmm... I've never tried that. I say there's only one way to find out! 🥰 As far as safety, I don't think it would be an issue, but I don't know about the looks/quality of the jam. They peaches could turn dark. I'd love to hear your results if you try it! 💜

[@tammyharper7428]

Can you do the same with apple peels and cores?? Make apple jelly?

[@mymodernhomestead]

You definitely can! You'll need the peels and core from 15-20 apples. Boil them for 20-30 minutes in 7 cups of water. Strain the liquid well. Add enough water to equal 7 cups if needed. Whisk a box of regular pectin and bring to a boil. Add 9 cups of sugar all at once. Bring back to a rapid boil and boil for 1 minute. Laddle into jars to 1/4 inch headspace. Process jars for 10 minutes. 🥰
