I scrub peaches but never peel them for jam and any other use. It just seems like extra work, and I find that no one notices the peels at all. I also don't peel tomatoes or apricots or almost anything. In the case of tomato sauce making, I cook tomatoes low and slow in crock pots, mash them in the pot and run an immersion beater through them. The blades remove most of the skins, pulverize the seeds and the remaining skin. Many roads to Roma's, I guess
