Good afternoon. Just finished watching your peach concentrate video. I was wondering; #1. What type of peach did you use? #2. What's the steamer brand? #3. Was the juice watered down when you steamed it or did the flavor stay strong?
Hi:). Great to hear from you! The peach variety is a mystery. I have many fruit trees and know very few of the varieties. A orchard friend of a friend suggested perhaps they were contender peaches. But who knows! I do know they work well in just about every situation. They taste good fresh, freeze well, and can well. It frustrates me often that I have no idea what most of the fruit is I grow🙃. But I suppose there could be worse problems! The juice is not watered down when it is steamed. I do add water when we drink it bc it’s too strong as is. I do the same when I steam apples, grapes, cherries and pears too.
@@mamashalldo Thanks dear. I appreciate you getting back to me. But yeah those jars looked bright and thick. In your professional opinion, could 1 gallon of peach juice make 3 gallons?
I don’t believe so, I think it may be too light on flavor. I generally take a quart and add one quart of water to start and then sample. The amount of added sugar seems to impact the amount of water you can add. Sometime I can add more water but I always sample at 1 quart and go from there….the most I have ever added for a quart of concentrate is 1.5 quarts of water. This is also kinda subjective to the fruit as well.
Great to see as Im making juice myself! Looks great!
Oh fun! What type of juice are you making?
I bet your juice tastes amazing! What a labor of love ❤️
Labor of love is exactly right! Thank you🥰.

The steamer I have is called kitchen crop. I have a video all about it…if that interests you. I couldn’t find one locally so it is from Amazon.
