  2. Look at this beautiful peach! This looks too good to eat but we’ll make it into a puree. Peel the peach with a knife. We recommend using soft ripe peaches to give the jello a smooth texture.

Recipe Notes

This recipe uses a minimum amount of gelatin to give the jello a pleasant texture, which goes great with the soft peach flesh.
Unlike agar agar, the gelatin quickly melts on hot summer days so enjoy it as soon as possible.
