Instructions

Combine the peaches and water in a large saucepan.
Bring to a boil on high heat, then reduce to a low heat and continue to cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Transfer the peach mixture, in batches, to a fine-mesh strainer set over a large bowl.
Remove any solids from the mixture by pressing it through a strainer.
Return the peach puree to the saucepan after measuring 5 cups.
Bring the sugar and lemon juice to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and continue to boil, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Continue to boil for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened, after adding the liquid pectin.
Remove from the heat and skim any foam that has formed.
Fill hot sterilized jars with hot jelly, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth before screwing on the lids.
For 10 minutes, place the jars in a boiling water bath.
Remove the jars from the water bath and set aside to cool completely before storing.
