PeachJalapeno Jelly Pomona's Universal Pectin

WebAug 2, 2016 · In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and the pectin powder. Mix thoroughly and set aside. Put the sauce pan on the stove and bring …

1. Before you begin, prepare calcium water.To do this, combine ½ teaspoon calcium powder (in the small packet in your box of Pomona’s pectin) with ½ cup water in a small, clear jar with a lid. Shake well.Extra calcium water should be stored in the refrigerator for future use.
2. Wash and rinse jars, lids, and screw bands. Set screw bands aside until ready to use. Place jars in boiling water bath canner with a rack, fill at least 2/3 of the way full with water, and bring to a boil. Boil jars for 10 minutes to sterilize (add 1 additional minute of sterilizing time for every 1000 feet above sea level), then turn down heat and let jars stand in hot water until ready to use. Place lids in water in a small pan, bring to a low simmer, and hold there until ready to use.
3. Remove and discard peach pits and peels, then chop the peaches and place in a sauce pan with 1 cup water. Cover, bring the peaches up to a boil, reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat and thoroughly mash the peaches. (Note: It is not essential that you pit and peel the peaches, as it is only the juice obtained from the peaches that will be used in this recipe. However, pitting and peeling the peaches will give you the option, after you’re done with this recipe, to use the spent mashed peach pulp in a variety of different ways, rather than simply composting it. Try it in smoothies, or on vanilla ice cream!)
4. Transfer the mashed peaches into a jelly bag. (An impromptu bag made from layers of cheesecloth wrapped around the mashed fruit and gathered at the top works equally well, if you don’t have a jelly bag.) Suspend the jelly bag over a large bowl and allow the mashed fruit to drip juice into the bowl until you have accumulated 4 cups of juice. This will likely take 2-4 hours. After you have accumulated the necessary 4 cups of juice, you can compost the fruit pulp, or – even better – use it for something else.
