How to cook peach jam in a slow cooker
Peaches are not only delicious, but also a very healthy fruit. They contain vitamins, Mg, Kr, K, Fe, Na and a host of other trace elements. The fruit also contains sucrose, fructose, 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 ideal.
Hard fruits are blanched in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. If whole fruits are blanched, they are pierced with a fork in several places so that they do not burst during heat treatment. After that, they are immersed in cold water. Remove the peel so that it does not give an unpleasant bitterness.
So that the fruits do not darken, they are dipped in a lemon solution (10 g of citric acid is added per liter of water).
To dilute the inherent sweetness of peaches, add a little citrus (lemon or orange) or citric acid to your taste.
Due to the delicate texture of the fruit, it becomes possible to cook it in 1 meal (five minutes). Some perform the process in several stages to better soak the peaches.
