So when I try a new canning project I always go to my local extension which gives me all the information I need to preserve and make sure I do it safely.
I had a box of peaches and made two batches of jam. Peach pie filling was a great way to finish the peaches that were rapidly ripening and over ripening.
My mom always did cornstarch filling so this pectin set was different for me. I will have to see how we like it.

I copied from website in case it changes or is disconnected in the future.
Peach Pie Filling
Yield: 1 quart
Quantities of Ingredients Needed for:
Sliced fresh peaches 3 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
Sure Jell or Clear Jel Pectin 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon
Cold water3/4 cup
Cinnamon (optional)1/8 teaspoon
Almond extract (optional)switched to Vanilla Extract1/8 teaspoon
Bottled lemon juice1/4 cup
(I added shake of nutmeg)
Procedure
Peel peaches. To loosen skins, submerge peaches in boiling water for approximately 30-60 seconds, and then place in cold water for 20 seconds. Slip off skins and prepare slices 1/2-inch thick. Place slices in water containing 1 teaspoon of ascorbic acid crystals or six 500-milligram vitamin C tablets in 1 gallon water to prevent browning. For fresh fruit, place 6 cups at a time in 1 gallon boiling water. Boil each batch 1 minute after the water returns to a boil. Drain but keep heated fruit in a covered bowl or pot. Combine water, sugar, Clear Jel®, and, if desired, cinnamon and/or almond extract in a large kettle. Stir and cook over medium high heat until mixture thickens and begins to bubble. Add lemon juice and boil sauce 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Fold in drained peach slices and continue to heat mixture for 3 minutes. Fill hot jars without delay, leaving 1-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace if needed. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened, clean paper towel. Adjust lids and process immediately. See the chart below for processing times.
