Ingredients- 3 Yellow Cling Peaches (choose firm, fresh ones)
- 200ml Granulated Sugar (approx. 170g)
- 400ml Water
- 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed recommended)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently wash the yellow cling peaches under running water. Use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub away any fuzz from the surface for a clean finish.
Step 2
Peel the washed peaches carefully. Then, separate the flesh from the pit, cutting around the seed. Aim for clean cuts to avoid mashing the delicate peach flesh.
Step 3
In a wide, shallow saucepan, combine the 200ml of sugar and 400ml of water. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, bringing the syrup to a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Once the syrup is simmering, add the prepared peach slices to the pot. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Continue to cook over medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the peaches to soften.
Step 5
As the peaches cook, skim off any foam that rises to the surface for a clearer syrup. Let the peaches simmer until they become translucent and tender, indicating they are cooked through.
Step 6
While the peaches are simmering, prepare your jars by sterilizing them in boiling water. To do this safely, place a cloth at the bottom of a pot, invert the jars onto it, and fill the pot with cold water until the jars are submerged. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then turn off the heat. Carefully remove the jars and allow them to air dry completely, ensuring the insides are also moisture-free.
Step 7
After about 20 minutes of simmering, the peach compote is ready. The peach slices should be translucent, and the syrup will have reduced by about half, taking on a beautiful peachy hue.
Step 8
Allow the peach compote to cool slightly. Carefully transfer the warm compote into the sterilized glass jars, ensuring the syrup covers the peaches. Once cooled to room temperature, seal the jars tightly and refrigerate. Serve chilled for a delightful and refreshing dessert!
