Peaches - a very useful product in the human diet. Peaches are considered a gourmet and dietary fruit. Fresh peaches, thanks to varieties of different ripening times, are consumed from July to October.

Peaches are an excellent fruit from which you can make compotes, juices, jams, preserves and dried fruits. Today we decided to offer you peach jam recipe.

Can be prepared in a variety of ways. We offer you this recipe, as we prepare it ourselves every year. Peach jam turns out to be very tasty and aromatic.

Making peach jam.

For cooking peach jam you need to use ripe fruits. Wash peaches well, peel and pitted. But you can not peel the peel, as you like. In our recipe, we did not peel the peel.

Then cut the peaches into slices or arbitrary medium-sized slices.

Next, you need to prepare the syrup. To do this, mix sugar with water, put on fire and bring to a boil. To completely dissolve the sugar, you need to cook for another 5 minutes.

Pour the prepared syrup over the chopped peaches and bring to a boil. If desired, you can add spices (a cinnamon stick, a few clove buds).

Remove from heat and cool completely. As soon as the peaches have cooled, it is necessary to bring to a boil again, remove from heat and cool completely again.

The next step is to sterilize the jar. Bring the peaches to a boil again and pour into the prepared hot jar.

Close the jar with a lid and turn it upside down. Wrap the jar with a blanket and leave to cool for a day. ready for long-term storage.

Fragrant homemade peach jam is a wonderful sweet preparation for the winter that the whole family will love. If you do not remove the peel, the finished dessert will turn out as in the picture, and without it the jam will have 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 imperative to take not fully ripe and dense fruits, since otherwise the slices will simply boil up and turn into mashed potatoes. I just had such peaches: a very cheap batch was brought 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, the conversion of sugar into syrup can take different times. 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 longer boiling. 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. Whether or not to remove the velvety skin is up to you (it doesn't 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 (saucepan) with a lid for this time.


Thus, we 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.


Delicious and healthy peach jam (or jam) will surely delight all those with a sweet tooth in winter. Ripe fruits contain vitamins, minerals and amino acids necessary for the body. Despite the fact that, due to the high sugar content and high calorie content (258 kcal per 100 g), jam can harm the teeth and figure, every housewife should prepare it.

In the morning, thoroughly mix the released juice with the syrup that has settled to the bottom and set the container on fire. When the jam boils, stir, remove from heat and leave until evening. In the evening, put on fire, and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the liquid evaporates by about 1 cm.If the skin has separated from the slices, collect it with a fork. Doesn't affect taste, just for aesthetics.

Sterilize three 350 ml jars. Spread the slices evenly over the jars without syrup. Then pour the syrup, not bringing 1 cm to the edge of the jar. Close with lids and cover with a towel until it is completely cooled. Jam for the winter is stored at room temperature.
