Peach compote without sterilization in a 3-liter jar for the winter

Choose fruits for your compote responsibly. If the peaches are too soft, skip the product. Most likely, the fruit has already begun to deteriorate. First, we need to transfer the peaches to a bowl or deep plate and rinse them. Spread a tea towel on a table or any other flat surface and place the peaches on top of it. While they are drying, pour water into a saucepan and transfer it to the stove. Wait for the water to boil. After that, transfer the peaches to a sieve and scald them with boiling water. Then place them under cold water to cool. Remove the skin from the peaches. Cut the prepared fruit in half and remove the seeds from them.

We begin to sterilize the jar. First, rinse it well with baking soda. Scald the jar and lid with boiling water. Then spread a tea or paper towel on a table or other flat surface. Place the jar on it and wait until it is completely dry. Be sure to check that there is no debris or soda lumps left in the jar. Because of this, the compote may deteriorate.

Fill a pot with cold water. Put it on fire. When the water boils, start gradually adding sugar in small portions. Stir the sugar syrup constantly to dissolve the crystals faster. When you add the last sugar, add 2 tablespoons of vanilla sugar and a few pinches of ground anise to the solution. These two ingredients will make the compote taste more intense and unusual. Boil the syrup for a few minutes. Then turn off the heat and strain the sugar solution through cheesecloth. This step will make the compote more transparent.

Fill a sterilized jar with cut peaches and fill them with the prepared sugar syrup almost to the very neck. Cover the jar with a lid. Place a piece of soft cloth at the bottom of a wide saucepan. Put a jar of compote on it and pour boiling water over everything. Transfer the saucepan to high heat. Wait for the water to boil. After that, reduce heat and leave the jar for about 40-45 minutes. When the time is up, remove the jar from the pan. Twist the jar. After that, put it on a towel, turning it over in advance. Wrap the jar in a warm blanket or large towel. Leave the jars in this position until they cool completely. After that, transfer the compote to the driest and coolest place in your apartment. For example, in the closet.
