Peach jam with wedges. Peach Jam

12.10.2019 Buffet table

This peach jam recipe is really whip up. It is really so simple and quick to prepare that anyone can cook it. Even if all your culinary skills lie in reheating purchased convenience foods.

There are several cooking options, and you can choose the one that seems easier.

Peach jam. Option number 1.

Ingredients: peaches, sugar, vanillin, lemon, cinnamon stick.

Peaches and sugar are taken in a 1: 1 ratio. For 1 kg of peaches, 1 kg of sugar, a pinch of vanillin, a cinnamon stick and the juice of one lemon should go. I do not really like much sugary jam, so I always add less sugar: for 1 kg 750-800 g. Peaches are better to take a little unripe. This will make them easier to cut and will not fall apart during cooking.

From 1.5 kg of peaches, I got about 1,200 ml of jam. But it all depends on the juiciness of the fruit and how much you want to boil it down (that is, make it thicker).

Cooking. Peaches should be washed and cut into thin slices. I cut one peach into 16 pieces. Then put them in a saucepan or bowl in which the jam will be boiled, cover with sugar, cover with a towel and leave overnight. If you did it in the morning, then you will need to cook it in the evening.

As a result, the sugar dissolves and the peaches release the juice. By morning (or evening) they will already be swimming in their own juice. Put the pot on fire, add a pinch of vanillin, a cinnamon stick (or just a pinch of ground cinnamon) and lemon juice. When the jam boils, reduce the heat and cook for another 40 minutes. After that, you can pour it into jars, after removing the cinnamon stick from there.

Option number 2.

The ingredients are the same. It's all about the process. You don't sugared peaches overnight. You take 70 ml of water if you have 1 kg of sugar and boil the syrup. Once the sugar has dissolved in the water, add the peaches, vanillin, cinnamon, lemon juice to the saucepan and cook until you are satisfied with the consistency.

If you cook for 20 minutes after the jam has boiled, you get a clear and runny syrup and the jam will be more reminiscent of Turkish sweets. If you cook it longer, then it will be thicker. Checking its condition is simple: you need to drip a little jam on a saucer and let it cool. This drop will show how thick it is.

If the peaches sit under sugar for more than one night, but a day, for example, you end up with an amber-colored jam with harder peach slices. They will look like candied fruits. The peaches will simply become more sugar-coated, and the taste of the jam will only benefit from this.

If you do not take into account the night during which the peaches are resting under the sugar blanket, the cooking time is no more than an hour - 15 minutes for slicing fruits and 45 for boiling.

Sweet, juicy, fragrant peaches are everyone's favorite summer fruit. I suggest not to part with the delicacy in winter and to stock up for the winter several jars of fragrant and very tasty jam.

I don't want to cook jam for hours in the summer heat, so I propose a simple, quick and easy recipe for peach jam, the preparation of which will not take you much time and effort.

According to this recipe, peaches are cooked for a short time, in two stages. Most of the time peaches "rest" and are soaked in syrup without any participation on your part, and the real work of preparing fruits and harvesting them takes no more than 15–20 minutes.

This approach not only simplifies the preparation of peaches, but also allows you to preserve their natural rich aroma, taste and color. In addition to the obvious speed and ease of preparation, I also like this recipe for making peach jam for the winter because the fruits retain their natural shape. I sometimes use the peach halves from this jam in winter to decorate desserts, ice cream and baked goods.

Prepare the ingredients according to the list.

Place the peaches in boiling water for 15-30 seconds, then in cold water. After that, the peel will separate from the pulp and it will be easy to remove it. Remove the skin and, after removing the pit, cut the peaches into halves, wedges, or slices.

You don't need to peel off the peel, but for my taste, the jam from peeled peaches is tastier.

Arrange the peaches in layers, sprinkling with sugar.

When cooking jam, the classic ratio of sugar to fruit is 1 to 1. But if the peaches are very sweet and ripe, I reduce the amount of sugar to 700-800 grams.

Leave the prepared peaches for a few hours.

When the peaches let the juice go and the sugar has partially dissolved, you can start cooking the jam.

Bring the mixture to a boil over low heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Then turn off the heat and leave the jam to cool.

Allow the peaches to cool to room temperature in the syrup before proceeding. If you have time and desire, you can leave the mixture for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Separate the peaches from the syrup. Bring the syrup to a boil and cook separately for 15 minutes over low heat, removing the foam.

Place the fruit in the boiled syrup, bring the mixture to a boil, and turn off the heat.

Arrange hot peach jam in sterilized jars. Close with sterilized lids.

Turn over and wrap until cool.

Aromatic and tasty peach jam for the winter is ready. Bon Appetit!

Aromatic homemade peach jam is a wonderful sweet preparation for the winter that the whole family will love. If you do not remove the skin, the finished dessert will turn out as in the picture, and without it the jam will be a rich amber color. Elastic peach slices in thick sugar syrup are perfectly set off by the slight sourness of lemon: such a dessert is not a shame to serve even to guests at the festive table!

There is nothing complicated in the recipe for peach jam for the winter, but there are some nuances. For example, for this fragrant preparation, it is necessary to take not fully ripened and dense fruits, since otherwise the slices will simply boil up and turn into mashed potatoes. I just had such peaches: they brought a very cheap batch to the store, so I already knew what exactly I would cook from them.

In addition, depending on the ripeness and juiciness of the fruit, it can take different times to convert the sugar into syrup. It is important not to rush and then your expectation will pay off with interest. The thickness of the peach syrup itself can be easily adjusted due to a longer boil. In any case, I am sure that you will definitely make the most delicious and aromatic peach jam for your family!

Ingredients:

Cooking a dish step by step with a photo:



Wash and dry the peaches, then cut the pulp into slices. It all depends on the maturity and juiciness of the fruit! I had very dense and crunchy (like apples) peaches, so I didn't want to leave the flesh from the stones - I just had to cut it off with a knife. It is up to you to remove the velvety skin or not (it does not bother me at all in the jam). I indicate the mass of peaches (1 kilogram) in the ingredients in an already prepared form, that is, without seeds. We put the slices in a bowl in which we will cook the jam.


Fill the peaches with granulated sugar - you need 1 kilogram. It may seem like a lot, but soon it will turn into syrup. Shake the pan or stir everything with your hands (if the peaches are dense like mine) so that the sugar evenly covers all the slices. In this state, peaches with sugar should be left at room temperature for several hours, periodically stirring the contents. As a rule, I keep hard fruits for quite a long time - I fall asleep with sugar in the evening and leave everything until morning.


In the morning (or after a few hours), all the sugar will turn into syrup (it may remain a little at the bottom) - it's time to move on to the next stage of making peach jam for the winter. We put the dishes on a quiet fire and let the sugar and juice completely turn into syrup. You can cover the bowl (pan) with a lid for this time.


Thus, bring the contents of the dishes to a boil and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Do not forget to remove the foam without fail - there will be quite a lot of it. After 5 minutes of boiling, turn off the heat and let the future peach jam cool COMPLETELY at room temperature. There is absolutely no need to rush here, so you can leave the treat to rest for at least 5 or even 12 hours.



Now you need to carefully remove the peach slices from the syrup. It's not very long, don't worry. We do this in order to properly boil the syrup.



Then pour 50 ml of lemon juice, which will help the syrup stay clear and not cloudy. In addition, lemon will add sourness to a decently sweet jam. Cook at medium boil for another 10-15 minutes. A soft-soft ball serves as a check for the readiness of the syrup: if you drop quite a bit of syrup on a chilled saucer, the droplet does not spread, but keeps its shape.


Put peach slices in boiling syrup, boil everything together for another 10 minutes over low heat after boiling again. Homemade peach jam is ready - we close it for the winter.


If you are very fond of fragrant peaches and do not want to part with them for the winter, then cook jam from them. Its unusual taste will make your tea drinking with friends and relatives just a holiday.

In addition, peaches have many beneficial properties. They contain vitamins such as C, B and A. They also contain iron, potassium, calcium and many other substances useful for the body.
