- Thoroughly wash 4 to 6 pounds of firm, ripe peaches. Drain well. Peel and remove pits.
- Grind fruit flesh with a medium or coarse blade, or crush with a fork (do not use a blender).
- Place ground or crushed fruit in a 2-quart saucepan.
- Heat slowly to release juice, stirring constantly, until fruit is tender.
- Place cooked fruit in a jelly bag or strainer lined with four layers of cheesecloth.
- Allow juice to drip about 15 minutes. Save the juice for jelly or other uses.
- Measure 4 cups of drained fruit pulp for making spread.
- Combine the 4 cups of pulp, pineapple, and lemon juice in a 4-quart saucepan.
- Add up to 2 cups of sugar, if desired, and mix well.
- Heat and boil gently for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring enough to prevent sticking.
- Fill jars quickly, leaving 1/4-inch head space.
- Recommended process time for Peach-Pineapple Spread in a boiling-water caner: 20 minutes
