Ingredients
Scale
- 4 to 4 1/2 lbs peaches (about 14–18 medium)
- ½ cup water
- 4 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- Rinse peaches under cool water and blanch in boiling water for 30-60 seconds before transferring them to cold water. Drain and peel.
- Cut the peeled peaches in half, remove pits, and discard skins.
- Dice the peaches into smaller pieces and place in a large saucepan with ½ cup water. Simmer over medium heat until soft.
- Blend the mixture into a smooth pulp using a food processor or immersion blender.
- In the same saucepan, combine 2 quarts of peach pulp with 4 cups of sugar and bring to a soft boil while stirring until dissolved.
- Reduce heat and maintain a low boil, stirring often until thickened enough to mound on a spoon.
- Jar the mixture in sterilized containers, leaving ¼” headspace if canning. Process in a water bath for 10 minutes (15 minutes above 6,000 feet).
- Store in a cool place for up to 18 months if canned; refrigerate after cooling and consume within 3 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.
