Peach Lemonade Concentrate
Peach lemonade concentrate is a sweet, tart drink base made from fresh peach juice, lemon juice, and sugar. Process it in a water bath canner and keep it on the pantry shelf, then mix one part concentrate with three parts water for peach lemonade any time of year. One pint makes a half gallon of finished lemonade.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare a water bath canner, jars, and lids before you begin.
water2 cups
2
Juice the lemons and strain the juice well to remove the seeds and pulp.
3
Quarter the peaches and add them to a pot with the water. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently until the fruit is soft and breaking down, about ⏱️ 20 minutes. Strain through a jelly bag or several layers of cheesecloth, letting it drip until you have a clear juice. Peeling and pitting are not required, though removing the pits first gives a slightly clearer juice.
