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!

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!

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 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. 🥰
