Kitchen appliances and utensils
- soft sponge for dishes;
- knife;
- 3 liter can and suitable lid;
- kettle and stove (or electric kettle).
Ingredients
- Fresh peaches - 600 g
- Sugar - 300 g
- Boiling water - 2 - 2.5 l
Step cooking
- Rinse the peaches thoroughly (you will need about 600 g per 3-liter jar) under running water and gently rub them with a soft sponge for dishes, washing off the upper coating and trying to clean the fruits from their “hairiness”. Washed peaches are cut in half (or in four parts), remove the stone.
- We carefully sterilize a 3-liter jar in any way convenient for you (for example, using an oven). Carefully place the sliced halves (or quarters) of peaches in a sterilized jar.
- Following the peaches, add 300 g of sugar to the jar.
- Then to the top we fill the jar with boiling water from the teapot (it will take you about 2 - 2.5 l).
- We tightly close the sterilized jar with a lid (it is necessary to check if the jar is tightly closed).
- Turn the closed jar a little from side to side so that the sugar is completely dissolved.
- We wrap the jars with compote in a blanket (or in your winter clothes) and leave them in this position until they cool completely (about a day).
- The cooled cans are stored in a cool dark place.
Decoration and serving
In order to make the compote more elegant and interesting to taste, you can add to jars of peaches: berries (grapes, currants, cherries, gooseberries, etc.), fresh mint, lemon zest, etc. It should be said that fruits should be selected for such a compote very carefully. They should be without visible damage, a little hard and with a dense skin (after all, soft fruits can turn compote into muddy porridge).
