Tips & Variations

• Use ripe, sweet peaches for the best natural flavor and sweetness.
• Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup according to your taste.
• Try blending in other fruits like mango or strawberry for a mixed fruit ring variation.
• For a firmer texture, increase the gelatin by 1 tablespoon.

Storage

Store homemade peach rings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. When ready to enjoy, let them reach room temperature briefly to soften slightly, or eat chilled for a firmer chew.

FAQs

Can I use powdered gelatin or gelatin sheets?

This recipe uses powdered gelatin, but you can substitute gelatin sheets by blooming them in cold water first, then melting gently into the warm peach mixture.

What if I don’t have silicone molds?

You can pour the mixture into a shallow dish lined with parchment paper and cut into rings or squares once set, though shaping may be less uniform.

• If using frozen peaches, thaw and drain excess liquid before blending to prevent a diluted flavor.
• Silicone molds are ideal for easy removal without sticking.
