Years ago my grandmother made peach jelly from the peels & pits of peaches. Most people I talk to had never heard of it. She's gone now but I hadn't saved the ratio of juice to pectin to sugar she used. Thank you for having this for me to find.

Thanks so much for adding this recipe. My mother used to help my grandmother with her canning every fall, and when my mother died when I was 18, I started canning with my grandma so that she wouldn't have to stop having her canned foods. I had an amazing time with her, canning, laughing and most of all loving. I lost her three years ago, 20 years after my mom passed, and I couldn't find the recipe for her peels and pit jelly after everyone converged on her household, I'm the youngest of 5 with many many older cousins, so.... I wasn't able to have many of her things to remind me of her, but I have some beautiful memories, and I thank you so much for putting this up so that I can have her peach jelly to share with my girls :) thanks! It's a wonderful recipe!

I just made 6 batches of this jelly. I had one packet of of the dry pectin and the rest I made with the liquid pectin, using the same method throughout. They all work the same and the sheeting stage probably came within 2 minutes. Beautiful color. And great satisfaction in that all those peels weren't wasted.
Thanks for the recipe

I am looking for a peach pit/peeling recipe that uses apples rather than pectin. There was a recipe in the old Ball Mason canning recipe book but I have lost mine over the years. If anyone has one to share that would be great. It was one of the best jellies I have ever had. It called for sugar but I substituted honey and it was yummy.

Used this recipe last year. Had alot of peaches off our trees and then a pile of peelings left over. I remembered that my mother-in-law told me she used to save apple peelings to make jelly. I googled and found this recipe. Husband and kids ate it all before winter ever thought about hitting! When I'm finished canning peaches and then making jelly from peels and pits... THEN the hogs can have what's left! Thank you!

I knew when I looked into the sink filled with peach peels and pits that there must be something I could do with them rather than just throw them away. I'm SO glad that I did a Google search and found this recipe. The jelly was very easy to make and SO DELICIOUS!! The only thing I did differently was that I didn't skim off the foam. It tastes good too so I didn't want to waste it.

I'm making this excellent jelly recipe again. When I reread my last review I realized that I did one other thing differently than instructed. I did not use cheesecloth. I just used a strainer. I don' t care if it's cloudy because it so delicious.

I add spices you'd normally add to peach pie ... makes the jelly taste like peach pie

Made 6 1/2 pints peach jelly by using this amazing recipe! Beautiful in jars and a yum yum flavor.
