Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup cook type Clear Jel
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 14 cups peeled and sliced peaches from about 20 peaches
  • 3 cups cold water
  • 1 cup lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Sanitize 4 quart jars. Prepare your canner according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Whisk the sugar, Clear Jel, cinnamon, and ginger together in a large pot. Set aside.
  • Bring a separate large pot of water to a boil and, working in batches, add the peach slices to the boiling water. Cook for 1 minute, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the peaches to a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining peaches.
  • Whisk the 3 cups of cold water into the sugar mixture.
  • Add the lemon juice and whisk well.
  • Set the mixture over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Let the mixture boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, then stir in the peaches. Cook until they are warmed through, about 2 minutes.
  • Ladle the peach pie filling into hot sanitized jars, leaving 1-inch of headspace. Wipe the rims clean, top with lids, then screw the bands on until fingertip tight.
  • Process in a boiling water bath for 30 minutes, adjusting for elevation if needed.
  • Remove from the canner and cool at room temperature for 24 hours before removing the bands and moving to a cool, dark location for up to 1 year.

Notes

  • Adjust for elevation by adding 5 minutes of processing time for every 3000 feet above sea level.
  • You can process and store this pie filling in pint size jars instead of quarts, if you prefer. The processing time does not change when using smaller jars.
  • This recipe is suitable for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan diets.
