Quality of Fruit Select ripe but firm peaches. Red Haven, Redskin, Sun High, and other varieties of similar quality are suitable.
Procedure for Preparing Peach Filling Peel peaches. To loosen skins, submerge peaches in boiling water for 30-60 seconds, and then place in cold water for 20 seconds. Slip off skins and prepare slices 1/2-inch wide. Place slices in water containing 1 teaspoon of ascorbic acid crystals or six 500-mg vitamin C tablets in 1 gallon of water to prevent browning. Place 6 cups drained fruit at a time in 1 gallon boiling water. Boil each batch 1 minute after water returns to a boil. Drain but keep heated fruit in a covered bowl or pot. Combine sugar, Clear Jel®, water, and cinnamon or almond extract in a large kettle. Stir and cook on medium-high heat until mixture thickens and begins to bubble. Drain peach slices. Add lemon juice and boil sauce 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Fold in peach slices and continue to heat for 3 minutes, then fill jars with mixture and process immediately.
