How to make peach jam in a slow cooker
Peaches are not only tasty, but also very healthy fruit. They contain vitamins, Mg, Kr, K, Fe, Na and a lot of other microelements. The fruit also contains sucrose, fructose, and pectins, which have a beneficial effect on the body.
These fruits are recommended for people with gastrointestinal problems, low acidity, arrhythmia and anemia.
It is better to eat fruits fresh, but if this is not possible (in winter), jam is an ideal option.
Hard fruits are blanched in boiling water for 2-3 minutes.If whole fruits are blanched, pierce them with a fork in several places so that they do not burst during heat treatment. After this, they are immersed in cold water. Remove the peel so that it does not impart an unpleasant bitterness.
To prevent the fruits from darkening, they are dipped in a lemon solution (add 10 g of citric acid per liter of water).
To dilute the inherent sweetness of peaches, add a little citrus fruit (lemon or orange) or citric acid to your taste.
Thanks to the delicate texture of the fruit, it becomes possible to prepare it in one serving (five minutes). Some perform the process in several stages to better saturate the peaches.
