Use needle nose pliers! Hold the peach in one hand, shove the pliers in the stem end, grab and pull. That trick saved me a ton of time this year. All thanks to TikTok
Just made 12 pints of peach syrup with the peels, pits, and scraps from my peaches that I used to make peach jam. It's fantastic for peach tea. The pits didn't make it bitter.
I am just about to use my steam juicer for the first time and glad you can use the fruit pulp left over. Has anyone heard about a new company from China called Country Classic making jars and lids? The volume is slightly different ie 119 ml rather than 125ml or 1/4 cup Ball jars.
I take the skins off my peaches before juicing. After juicing, I use the left over pulp to make and can peach pie filling. Always turns out great! Thank you for your video! :)
I'm SO excited for this video. I was gifted 21# of grapes and used my steam juicer to process them for my first attempt. Now I have extra peaches after canning, freezing, baking, etc. I am tickled pink to make peach juice tomorrow!! Thank you for always being you. ❤️🍑
You can use needle nose pliers. You don't even have to cut it. Just shove the pliers into the top, grab the pit, twist and pull out. Check out the fishing section for the pliers. They're food grade.
I ate the last of my peaches today and then this video popped up. I am making plans to restock on Monday. They are so delicious! I have a steam canner and now I'm motivated to actually use it!
I don't do the juice steamer, but after peeling and cutting the peaches up I take the skins and pits and boiling them in water to make juice for jelly. I do the same with my apple skin and cores.
Been watching your channel for some time and finally got my Presto 23 quart pressure canner today! Yippee! I have a limited number of quart and pint jars with lids but will of course be adding more. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! I will continue watching and learning!
Was going to get a new hot water bath canner BUT after watching this...will DEFINITELY purchase the steam canner INSTEAD. Always learning something from your channel. Thank you.
Easy stone removal... Don't cut around the natural "line" seam on the peach. Instead turn it 90* and cut around its equator, twist to get two halves. The pit will be sticking up. Then cut once more around that stoned half's equator, avoiding the seam. Twist and then pull the pit out. Easy peasy! I do all my knife work on the hole peach first, making a pile of stone halves. Then go back and do the knife work for those stoned halves cutting them into the final quarter. Enjoy 😉
I first heard about steam canning from Carol - Thrifty Chic Housewife. I was absolutely amazed! I bought one and I have never looked back. I just need this steam juicer!
Peaches are my all time favorite fruit. My grandmother grew the biggest peaches I have ever seen. She called them Indian peaches. I have googled them over the years and can’t find anything that even references them by another name. She’s been gone many years and her children still call them Indian peaches.
I have recently heard of Indian peaches. They are the original peach. You can plant the seed and grow a peach tree. If Lisa allows I’ll tell you the channel
I so need to get to your farmers market...we haven't got anything in yet! Then to boot someone took 70% of my apples off my free last night...I thought Allen's was relatively crime free! ..great for as always...kim
What an interesting product, I'm not sure I could ever sacrifice peaches for juice instead of just canning the fruit. And even better are peaches frozen in extra light syrup with some fruit fresh. The way peaches oxidize I'm going to be curious to know if your juice turns dark over the next couple of months or stays that amazing color. Did you use the leftover pulp to make some peach butter for Phil?
What I wanted to see. You can have good timing. Can't wait til my own peaches are ready to go in a couple of years. My food is changing too. Possible ulcer or gastritis. My sister had the same symptoms and had both. Oh joy. Cutting out extra sugar, grease and other things are helping before my appt. Pop is so hard to quit. The pain is real. I'm sure the pits are the pits. Pun intended. I'm going to get that steam juicer if I have to beg.🤣 I'm not messing with that hand crank up again. Spent a day a bowl of gooseberries for juice. Ugh.
Old canning recipes would call for a certain number of pits added. They contribute to flavor and color, but not too many due to the arsenic or cyanide...one or the other.
So might be a stupid or ignorant question ,can I just use cornstarch for my thickener in my jelly an james and or can I just boil down an use just sugar an the fruit juice ?? No liquid or powder pectic sure jell packs ??
@Sutton Daze Looks soo good !! Never made any fruit juice. Wish the vid had shown entire process. Did you add water and how much ?? How long did you cook the peaches ?? Yum. I really want to do this. Thanks so much !♥️
I don’t understand that either. I think we all know how to cut the peaches and remove the pits. I was waiting to watch the process of juicing. 🤷🏼♀️ I’m sure I can find some videos to watch the whole process.
@@tiptopgirl4124 a steam juicer is a 4 part juicer that has a water pot on the bottom, a collection pot in the middle, a steamer basket above that, and a lid. Fruit goes in the basket, lid goes on, water heats, creates steam, which travels through the “funnel tube” in the collection pot and releases the juice into the collection pot below. When enough juice accumulates, it feeds out through the drain tube in the collection pot. Leesa has other videos demonstrating it in action. Bought mine three years ago and use it all the time. th-cam.com/video/5Wip0NmPsF4/w-d-xo.html&feature=share&EKLEiJECCKjOmKnC5IiRIQ
@marlawhite4842 Fill the botton reservoir with water. The fruit goes in the top basket. The middle pan looks like a short angel food cake pan. The hole/opening in that pan allows the steam to rise from the bottom pan up to the top pan. This softens the fruit and sends its juices through the strainer basket into the middke pan. The siphon hose is attached to the middle pan. This is how the juice is extracted.
Question(s)- Is the processing time in the steam canner 25 min for all juices (strawberry, raspberry, apple, grape etc) the same for quarts and pints? Do you need to add lemon juice to the fruit juice to bring up acidity? I am having a hard time finding recipes on the new National Center for food preservation, I cannot find canning fruit juice.
That looks beautiful. @ 8:15, when you read the directions and it said to 'Seal immediately as directed", does that mean to tighten the band AFTER it comes out of the canner, like Tattler/HarvestGuard lids? Or just wait for them to seal on their own as they cool on the counter top? Thank you.
Cheaters trick. Those backward plier looking crab cracker things. Twist peaches apart like you are to separate. The cracker thing will fit just right over the exposed pit. Twist then pull, it’ll usually pop out if the peaches are cold, or you’ll have a solid grip to give it a small yank. Happy pitting.
Has anyone had problems with the 1 1/2 pint jars? I have had 3 break in the pressure canner in as many months. Seems odd to me. Dang Leisa that looks fine.
I lost 4 out of a case cause they broke. I looked at the others and saw some flaws in them and now only use them for dehydrated foods. It is my favorite size jar too
@@magnoliahomesteadwithannie6300 my favorite size to, works best for my family. Think I’ll just use them for dehydration also. What a shame Ball supplies have gotten so shoddy
I saw FourJars has jars! Doug & Stacy had a convention and they were their promoting lids and jars!! Doug picked up a jar and said they now have them!!
Peach jelly, that's what I would be making. I think just to be on the safe side removal of the pits is because they contain cyanide compounds, if the pit opens up and the cyanide leaks into the juice, someone who drinks it that is health compromised could potentially become very ill, or very young children. Why take the chance.
If you have to cut around the pit to get it out you probably didn't buy freestone peaches. The pits should just pop out. I've made peach juice today and peach nectar yesterday. You get a lot more juice if you let the fruit and juice stand overnight in the juicer. I think the juice tastes better if you let it collect in a large stock pot and stir it all together vs filling one bottle at a time. This way you don't have good tasting juice in the beginning and weak juice that's produced at the end of the juicing process. In my 45 years of making juice with my steam juicer I've never put lemon juice in any of my juices. I've never even heard about doing that.
@@SuttonsDaze I googled it. The pits of cherries ,peaches, nectarines and some plum contain cyanide. It said it is only harmful if chewed. So don't chew them. 😉🤣😂
Peach pits contain a very low amount of cyanide. They are more dangerous to dogs as they can not tolerate the amygdalin in them, which is toxic to dogs. I run two steam caners at same time.
That is the most beautiful peach juice ever! I don't have a steam juicer, but after watching your video using your steam canner I knew I had to have one. My new steam canner will be here next week and I am soooo excited!! Maybe next year I will get a steam juicer. Thanks for another great video!!

So the food mill would pull out the skins? Brilliant!
My question is- there is still great peach flavor with the juice pulled out?

I saved my Peach peelings this time and planning on making juice for jelly myself. No pits!
I got a steam juicer in early summer. I’ve made peach, cranberry/grape, and gooseberry juices. Yummy 😋
Try cutting on the ‘seam’ of the peach.
When she did, the pits came right off. 🥰
Me too
I love my steam canner. Now I want a steam juicer after seeing how easy you made it look.
I ate the last of my peaches today and then this video popped up. I am making plans to restock on Monday. They are so delicious! I have a steam canner and now I'm motivated to actually use it!
The ring on the jar closest to camera has the ring on crooked. Looks delicious. My mouth is watering
Love your channel. I appreciate your attention to detail and following the approved guidelines for canning. 💜🙏💙🙏
Peaches the pits have arsenic that's why as well as apple seeds
Looks delicious. Something to look forward to in the winter.

If you can't get jars make absolutely certain you get more lids than you think you will Ever need . Go you!!!!!
Thanks, Dana! I just ordered lids from Forjars AND a few more jars from Amazon.
I made scrap peach jelly didn't get a lot but every bit helps!!
Nothing is more thirst quenching than peaches and their juice. Peach Cider is wonderful too.

This evening I saw an ad for peaches at a local orchard. I'll be over that way on Wednesday!
Try cutting them up in quarters, the seed will be easier to remove
Looks delicious. Good color for paint for my bedroom! It sparkles where the light hits it!
Peach paint! Yum!

That colour is beautiful, the juice is going to taste amazing, lucky Phil.
the reason u have to take the pits out is because the seed is like arsnic if injested

Needle Nose plyers.. stick them into top of peach.. grab pit.. give a good twist and pull
What do you do with the peach pulp? Make peach pies?
That is Beautiful!
So might be a stupid or ignorant question ,can I just use cornstarch for my thickener in my jelly an james and or can I just boil down an use just sugar an the fruit juice ?? No liquid or powder pectic sure jell packs ??
Can you do anything with the fruit scraps that’s left over after you use it?
I would have liked to see what was left over in the juicer
I turn the scraps into bacon, but I believe you can make jams or dehydrate for powder
The only "easy" way to pit peaches is to Quarter them.
OMG, Your will power ! I Absolutely cannot resist ripe peaches 💥😁
I cut in half and use a grapefruit spoon to scoop the pit out..easy peasy
Use grapefruit spoon. ♥️
Serrated grapefruit spoon. Or buy freestones.
Beautiful!!!! 😁
Yes the pits makes it bitter.
I saw someone put pliers in the end grab the stone and pull it out of the whole peach. Try that.
