Hello Ruth,
 
 RH> Easy enough to do but I'm going to be cutting back on making jams,

 RH> it, I'll add as little as possible. It'll be "safer" for me to eat
 
 NB> It'll be a "mit verstandt" item for you...  :)   Is there a way to

 RH> Not without special instruments probably. Ones that we probably can't

There is a way, if you have a blood glucose tester.  I have used one
to test the sugar content of wines, and it works.  If you find that
the peach juice is so sweet it is out of range, all you have to do is
to dilute it by a known ratio of water to juice, until it becomes
within range.  Then do some simple sums.  Alternatively, you could get
a Baume meter of the type used by wine-makers to test grape juice.
