"Of course I can" NOT! I actually do not can and I don't do much genealogy either but it's canning season and my dad's cousin who is in my ward shared this recipe at Relief Society the other night. It is my Great Grandma Hansen's recipe and it's really good so I thought i'd pass it on to my fam and to any canners out there.
Save all pits from at least half a bushel of peaches
Do not use any pits that are cracked of broken(apparently there are trace amounts of poison in them)
Cover with enough cold water to cover pits 1-2 inches
Let stand overnight in the refrigerator
Next morning, bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for 45 minutes
Discard pits and strain juice through cheesecloth
Use 1 package of pectin and 5 cups of sugar for every four cups of juice
Follow directions for jelly recipes on the pectin package
Pour through funnel into clean, hot jelly jars leaving 1/8 inch headspace
Wipe jar rim and place hot lids on, screw ring on firmly
Process 10 minutes in a boiling water bath
This is a clear, mild and pretty peach flavored jelly
There you have it Ester May's Peach pit jelly, sound easy right? I might even try it.....maybe.
