Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Mixture

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen peaches (peeled and chopped)
  • 1/2 cup apple juice or water
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 23 tbsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

Gelatin

  • 3 tbsp unflavored gelatin

Optional

  • Natural food coloring (orange or red) for brightness

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the peeled and chopped peaches with apple juice, lemon juice, and honey. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform.
  2. Heat Mixture: Pour the peach mixture into a saucepan and gently heat it over medium-low heat, preparing it for gelatin incorporation.
  3. Dissolve Gelatin: Evenly sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the warm mixture and stir constantly for 3 to 5 minutes until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add Coloring (Optional): If desired, add a few drops of natural orange or red food coloring to enhance the bright peachy appearance, stirring to combine.
  5. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into silicone donut or ring molds, ensuring even distribution for consistent shapes.
  6. Refrigerate: Place the molds in the refrigerator and chill for 2 to 3 hours, or until the peach rings are firm and set.
  7. Remove and Store: Once set, gently remove the peach rings from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within one week for best freshness.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to taste and peach sweetness.
  • Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid a grainy texture in the final product.
  • 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.
  • These peach rings should be stored refrigerated and consumed within a week for optimal taste and texture.
