Peach Jam for Winter
Incredibly tasty and delicate! An easy recipe for anyone with a sweet tooth! These days, imported fruit and berries are actually cheaper than what grows in our own region. So this winter preserve — peach jam — works out to be many times cheaper than local currants or raspberries. And it's wonderfully fragrant: the syrup comes out clear and an appetizing golden-brown, while the fruit slices stay soft without cooking down into a purée. By the way, there are probably as many recipes for it as there are for any other fruit. But today let me show you how I make peach jam by this recipe.

- Use peaches that are ripe and fragrant, but not overripe — that is, not mushy. If your peaches are nectarines, you can put them up without peeling. If the fruit has a fuzzy skin, remove it by dropping the peaches into boiling water for half a minute and then transferring them to cold water. Peel ripe peaches by hand; if they're not quite ripe, pare the skin off with a knife. Score each peach all the way around the seam, down to the pit. Twist the two halves in opposite directions — the pit will stay in one half. Cook the fruit in syrup for 15 minutes at a gentle simmer. Drain the peaches in a colander. Pour the syrup into a pot, note its level, and reduce it by half. Return the peaches to the syrup, bring to a boil, and simmer for 1–2 minutes. If the peach jam is too sweet, you can add the juice of a quarter lemon. If you're putting it up for winter, spoon the jam into prepared jars, seal them, and leave them somewhere warm until they cool. By the way, these peaches will yield about 1 liter of jam.
