    I tried making this before finding your video. I didn’t smash mine in the boiling process and it came out more pink. Also used the pits as well - the ones that didn’t break when I cut up the peaches. I found a wire mesh colander set at Walmart last year that has been amazing. I use a couple layers of cheesecloth that lay in the colander to strain. I’ve had the same package of cheesecloth for a couple years now. I’m sure the muslin suggestion would be more reusable though since I dispose of the cheesecloth after using it. There are also some silicone insulated mits that pampered chef sells (surely they are available somewhere else) that you can handle the jars with. I have held the jar over the pot to ladle things in them with less cleaning. That sugary drip stuff is no joke to get off my counter and stove. Whew!

    To strain your fruit, you can go any fabric store and ask for food quality muslin. I use it for straining my yogurt and milk kefir also.

      @@AutumnLeighatHome cheesecloth is great to use but becomes expensive as you can only use it once then the integrity is gone. A good muslin cloth can be washed between uses.

    My family loves peach ice cream and oatmeal, so I am making peach powder to sprinkle on them. Will also likely use the powder for a wintertime hot peach tea. Mmmm

      ​@AutumnLeighatHome It doesn't look like you got a response, so I thought I might offer my thoughts on peach powder.
      I just found your channel, so I don't know how much you use a dehydrator. I dehydrate a LOT of things & I'm going to try the peach skins this year. I do a lot of tomato powder for a replacement of tomato paste or a soup thickener, etc. I'm thinking the peach skins would work the same way. I just layout the skins in a single layer. I don't go by time as much as by testing for dryness. The pieces need to "snap", not bend to be dry enough to store. Once dried, I put them in an airtight jar with enough room to give them a shake every so often to "condition" them. As long as they aren't stuck in any size clump or sticking to the jar, it's ok to put in a jar to store after I vacuum seal the lid. I watch Darcy at
      THE PURPOSEFUL PANTRY a lot & these are her instructions. She also says not to powder (in a ninja, spice grinder or such, all at once. She says that the product keeps better & doesn't clump that way. I plan on trying other peels dried, like carrots, etc to use as a thickener.
      I'm going back to finish watching your video now, but I hope this helps!
      God bless you & yours 🙏🙏🙏

      @@AutumnLeighatHome Peach pits are fine to use as long as they are not broken or cracked. They will add flavor as well as color to your jelly. There is also a recipe for canning peaches that says to include one peach pit per jar of peaches. It should go without saying of course to not eat the pit itself. lol There is a small amount of cyanide in the pits of peaches and cherries as well as a few other fruits but you'd have to eat a lot of them and chew them up to find any problems with it.
