Great question! Cling stone peaches tend to be smaller and sweeter. They’re a little more challenging to cut and pit, because the fruit is softer and it sticks to the pit. Because of this, I like to use cling stone peaches for sauces, puree, and jam. With freestone peaches, they’re usually easier to cut in nice slices because the flesh separates easily from the pit. So freestone peaches are great when you want pretty slices to add to a salad or tart. Hope this helps! ~Eliza

Please tell me the difference between cling and free stone peaches, which has more flavor? Thank you!

I have been looking and looking for an easy but really good recipe and this was it. This was my first time canning and was a little intimidated. If the finished product comes out like it was in the pot….AMAZING! I have a ton of fresh Georgia peaches and cannot wait to make more. These will fantastic gifts. Thank you for sharing this.

Took 9 medium size peaches to get 3 pounds prepped fruit. Used 5 1/2 cups sugar and the lemon juice as directed. My pectin was on the old side but I used it anyway. The finished taste is of summer and the sweetness will go well with biscuits or as a topping for vanilla ice cream. Made up 12 four-ounce jars and one pint. The small jars will be given as Thanksgiving and Christmas gifts.
