Peach compote

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make peach compote for the winter? Take unripe firm peaches. I add a star of cloves per jar to each jar.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the peaches well, drain and remove the pits, cutting each fruit in half. This can be a little labor-intensive - the bones are held quite tightly, but with the tip of a sharp knife you can remove them quite easily.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sterilize the jars (I do this in the microwave by splashing a little water on the bottom of a cleanly washed jar, turn on maximum power for 2-3 minutes per liter jar), boil the lids. Fill sterile hot jars with fruit halves - more will go in. Add a star of cloves.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour boiling water over the edges over the peaches in jars and cover with sterile lids. Leave for 5 minutes. If you like softer fruits in compote, repeat this procedure one or two more times; I like soft peaches in compote, so I did it three times.

5. STEP 5

   

   Prepare sugar syrup separately or by draining the water from the jars. Boil water with sugar, add a pinch of citric acid and cinnamon. Bring to a boil.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour boiling syrup over the peaches, also overflowing. Immediately close tightly with screw caps, turn upside down and send until completely cooled “under a fur coat”. After cooling, the workpiece can be stored indoors; if possible, it can be stored in the basement or basement. Excellent peach compote for the winter is ready!

Both the compote and the peaches themselves turn out very tasty. You can also use this recipe to seal peaches for the winter.
