The opportunity to cook a tasty and fragrant billet for the winter does not miss a single good housewife. One of the best spinning products is considered to be a peach - a tasty, juicy, healthy and extremely aromatic fruit that even after preservation preserves an exquisite taste charm. How to make peach compote at home, and what ingredients for this you need to prepare - later in the article.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
The quality of peach preservation, first of all, will depend on the right ingredients.
To prepare compotes, the following requirements must be considered:
- choose ripe, fairly dense fruits, without visible damage, dents, rot, which will not be able to lose their shape during the preservation process (overripe fruits will turn into porridge during cooking, and unripe ones will be tasteless and too hard);
- it is better to opt for medium-sized fruits with a pronounced peach aroma;
- overripe fruits are not recommended for use in a drink; they are best used as raw materials for jam or jam;
- they do not recommend choosing unripe, solid fruits, as the compote will turn out to be very acidic and you will have to add a lot of sugar.
When preparing a drink, experts recommend using a few simple tips:
- too large peaches should be cut into two halves or sterilized them longer in time;
- to prepare a drink with fruit without a stone, you need to select varieties in which the stone is well separated from the pulp;
- the skin of the fruit is covered with a small fluff and if it is not removed, the compote will turn out muddy.
To diversify the taste of compote, peaches can be combined with apples, grapes, mint, etc. Each recipe to choose, each decides based on their own preferences.
Important! To remove the fluff from the surface, peaches should be lowered into a soda solution prepared from 1 liter of water and 1 tsp. soda.
