I recommend using the recipe on a package of powder pectin. I believe it's 4 cups smashed fruit, 1 pkg (1.75 ounces) powder pectin (SureJell or Ball
if you're in the US), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 5-1/2 cups sugar. Makes about 7 half pint jars.
Be sure the peaches are not overripe. Please be sure to process your jars in a boiling water bath for 5-10 minutes to assure safety for shelf storage.
