Simple and delicious! I used this recipe last year & am here for motivation to get started. My family has been anxiously awaiting this year's harvest to make more. We got two bushels in hopes of not running out again! We made small jars to give as gifts in Christmas baskets, used the preserves as jam on homemade bread, over ice cream, between waffles with cream cheese (I have teenage boys, each over six feet tall and am doing every thing I can to put weight on them) but our family's absolute favorite use? I make cream cheese danish with a dollop of the peach preserves in each one. It's also nice used as like a "chutney" with curry (instead of say a mango chutney) to offset heat. P.S. I like the idea of peeling w/o blanching for this application. Peaches are already so tender that every bit of retained firmness and flavor is a plus....IMHO but I agree w/Chef Lindsey's comment: each to their own.
Hi Lorenzo! Two bushels a year is a big deal! Your cream cheese danish with peach preserves sound right up my alley, and yes yes yes to preserves as chutney. Thanks for taking a moment to fill me in on how this recipe has become a part of your family's life!!
I love a recipe where you keep it simple; just in time I'm canning peaches. And love the little dance; a confidence builder in the recipe. May God bless.
My peaches are macerating and tomorrow the simmering begins. Wish me luck! 😺 If it doesn't quite work, I promise not to blame you or your recipe. I won't be a jerk about. 😏 I mean, I'll still have peaches and sugar in some useable form, right? Right. 👌 Of all the recipes I looked at, this is one with the courage to say, "Yes. This is a lot of sugar. You know what? We're not making seitan, so give it a rest!" As Julia Child said, "Lighten up. It's only food." 🙄 Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
@@ChefLindseyFarr I'll give you a full report Friday. I'm making this for my wife - I was giving her samples as the peaches simmered. You know: quality control because this is something I'm making for her. Anyway, it went spectacularly and now I've got leftover peach syrup to pour on pancakes. 🥞 Your new subscriber - me! I'm an Artist. My latest obsession: making my own ink . . . from soot.
I love the way you think! I don't see why that wouldn't work, and I can't wait to try it myself. Bourbon Peach Preserves...I think you're on to something!
Just made some of this with our peach harvest. I strained a lot of the juice and jarred it. I thought you mentioned something about using it to make a sorbet? Is that correct? And what other suggestions do you have with left over liquid? I believe I saw a comment about pancakes and cocktails? Thanks 😊
You can use it in sorbet, ice cream, as a syrup for pancakes and cocktails. You can also use it to soak a cake or baked custard. Some one else mentioned using to your make Meade! But I don’t know anything about that!
@@ChefLindseyFarr this all sounds delicious! Thank you! Have a wonderful time in Charleston. We recently visited and fell in love! Lovely town. A good friend’s son & his wife own a lovely restaurant: Renzo’s. So good! And absolutely loved Harken Cafe. And I could stay all day on the beach in Sullivan’s Island. 😜 Thanks for your wonderful recipes. Really enjoying your channel.
@@LandOfJuncoville Thank you! I loved Charleston too! Sooooo hot in August...maybe we'll have to take the next trip in the spring! When we go back I will be armed with your suggestions. I did have a fabulous peach lemonade from a stand in the Charleston City Market, which is what prompted my comment above.
If you have lots of freezer space I would whip up some peaches ( set aside 1/2 cup to one cup ) and put them in ice cube trays and bag them for future sorbet, martinis, mixed drinks or just peach flavored water. I never throw the liquit. I actually add a pinch of nutmeg and ciinamom and bring it doen in consistency and use it to make salad dressings. yummy. Another great idea is to use the syrup and grind habeneos , add a few tbsp of viengar and you have a yummy hot sace for BBQ. Enjoy. I do this with all seasonal fruits. makes cooking so much more fun
I’ve been trying to get my grams to make them but she keeps saying she can’t find good peaches. I need to find her some. I eat the preserves right out of the jar. Sooo good!!
Hi! Do you have experience or know if it is okay to prep all the peaches one day (peel and remove pits) and then store in the fridge for a day or two before making the preserves or should everything be done in one day?
HI Courtney, you can absolutely do that! You will want to be extra careful about using clean cutting boards and utensils, since they will be sitting before cooking. It is actually ideal to let the cut peaches sit (macerate) in the sugar overnight. It is a giant undertaking and breaking it up is incredibly helpful! Happy preserving!
Do you have to use a canning pot to put the jars with gut peach preserve in after? And when you said warm tops, is that what they’re called or do you have to warm them in hot water or something lol I sound dumb, new to canning, etc!
Sorry! I am planning on filming a full video on this soon! I actually use the sanitize setting on my dishwasher for the cans and then you put the tops in just simmering water for about a minute before putting them on top. If you don't have that setting on your dishwasher, you would want to use a large put with boiling water for the jars.
@@ChefLindseyFarr Thank you so much, yeah I don’t have. dish washer but I have a nice big water canning pot Can’t wait to start canning peach and pear preserves and apple sauce and all that kind stuff. ❤️💚🧡
I am new to canning and just got a food processor for first time in my 53 years. Can you explain what to do for food processor with the peaches? I feel stupid even asking but I truly am clueless but want to learn.
Use honey instead of sugar your preserves will be better and have medicinal uses, only add honey after the peaches have been cooked down. You never wanna boil honey.
There is a significant amount of granulated sugar in peach preserves. The sugar helps pull out the peach juices and replaces the moisture inside the peach, which is what preserves it. The sugar also helps thicken the preserves. Hope that helps, and enjoy!
That depends on how you handle it and if you properly can them. Without canning, when cooled to 70 degrees in 2 hours then below 41 degrees within the next 4 hours, they will keep for a month in the refrigerator. That will decrease if it is contaminated...say by eating them straight from the jar :-)
I only delete comments if they include profanity because I believe in free speech, which says more about the person who wrote it and less about the subject. I bake professionally every single day. I leave commenting open because I try to offer answers to people's questions in order to build community and help people see that nothing is out of their grasp in their home kitchen. Happy baking!
This is the amount of sugar most preserves contain. Also, There are tons of low sugar and sugar free recipes available on yt and I’m sure you’ll definitely find one that will be perfect for your health choices.

@@TheStockwell Quality is control is very important! Happy to hear your wife is enjoying!
I love this recipe! Also, did you add water to the pot when combining the sugar and peaches or did the sugar do all the work? Great job!!
Just peaches and sugar! Enjoy! 🍑
Loving your videos, you have a great vibe! And you are Stunning.
Thank you for sharing so much deliciousness. 😍
Thank you! Glad you like them!
I’m thinking about adding a hint of bourbon …will that work

It could be because I'm currently in Charleston, but you could use it to make a peach sweet tea! Or lemonade.

You can order them from Georgia! The Peach Truck is one such awesome option. Other farms offer nationwide shipping too :-)
@@ChefLindseyFarr Thanks, so much! I will be telling my grams!

how do you store them and how long do they last?
Hi there! All the intel can be found at cheflindseyfarr.com/peach-preserves/ Enjoy!!
Can I use my very ripe peaches for this? They have been in the frig... still good, but softer and the skins are dehydrating
Of course! A perfect way to use them up
Thank you Chef Linsey.
Any time!
a food processor works great!
Nice!
I am new to canning and just got a food processor for first time in my 53 years. Can you explain what to do for food processor with the peaches? I feel stupid even asking but I truly am clueless but want to learn.
It looks and sounds like you started with your peaches frozen? It's there any issues using them frozen whole prior ?
They were fresh peaches from the farmers market actually. In my experience frozen peaches are not as flavorful as fresh, in season peaches.
@@ChefLindseyFarr thanks. On the video it looked like ice on the outside.
What happens if you don't drain the juice? Does it mess them up?
Nope! You’ll just get more liquid preserves, which is great in some applications but not in others.
Do we need to refrigerate this preserve.
Keep them in the refrigerator and use within three months!
Use honey instead of sugar your preserves will be better and have medicinal uses, only add honey after the peaches have been cooked down. You never wanna boil honey.
Enjoy!
Temperatures over 105°-110° will kill any health or nutritional value of honey other than it's sweetness.
Saying they will be better is pretty subjective.
I don't care for the taste of honey, so it most certainly wouldn't be better for me...
You just made a different recipe all together! Why? Make your own video or just don’t be so rude
@sarahWallraven thank you! I didn't take it as anything other than simply another perspective! 😌
What is the quantity of sugar
All the quantities can be found in the recipe linked in the description!
It’s much easier to blanch( first few boil in hot water then immediately place peaches in ice water & peel) peaches.
To each their own! 💖
Why must you feel so important that you would leave such a stupid comment?
OMG the sugar. :(. I’ll have to figure out what else to do with these peaches.
Here are my other peach recipes! cheflindseyfarr.com/#search/q=peaches
You forgot to clean the tops off your jars and didn't debubble uh😮
I didn't do the full canning process for this video, these preserves were gone within hours at my house! 😉
Wow ! SOHHHHH much SUGAR
There is a significant amount of granulated sugar in peach preserves. The sugar helps pull out the peach juices and replaces the moisture inside the peach, which is what preserves it. The sugar also helps thicken the preserves. Hope that helps, and enjoy!
Shelf life ? How many days it will be good mam ?
That depends on how you handle it and if you properly can them. Without canning, when cooled to 70 degrees in 2 hours then below 41 degrees within the next 4 hours, they will keep for a month in the refrigerator. That will decrease if it is contaminated...say by eating them straight from the jar :-)
@@ChefLindseyFarr thanks for reply
Why don’t you use lemon?
Because I just wanted a pure peach flavor but you could certainly use lemon. It would be delightful
Pure peach lol. You mean peach sugar. Adding lemon doesn’t add lemon flavor.
A little better no f o a m
Enjoy!
Blah, blah, blah....Please limit the talking, so annoying.
I hope you find another video more suited to your tastes! Enjoy!

Sugar on steroids….. will have to pass. Sure it’s delicious but a health issue for me !
Understood, stay healthy out there!
This is the amount of sugar most preserves contain. Also, There are tons of low sugar and sugar free recipes available on yt and I’m sure you’ll definitely find one that will be perfect for your health choices.
