There’s an easy way to peel peaches. Just bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Meanwhile, prepare an ice-water bath. Using a sharp paring knife, score an “x” into the bottom of each peach. Working in small batches, drop peaches into boiling water. Let boil 40 seconds; if peaches are on the hard side, boil up to 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove peaches and place into ice-water bath. Using clean fingers or paring knife, pull skin off starting at the scored “x.”

- 1/4 Cup Warm Water
- 5 Pounds Peaches (Peeled & Diced)
- 8 Cups Sugar

- Dissolve pectin in warm water. Set aside.
- Over a medium-low heat, cook pealed and diced peaches in heavy bottomed pot 18 to 22 minutes until fruit is tender.
