Peaches in syrup
30 min
I found beautiful peaches in bulk, and let them ripen. For cooking fruit, I use a sugar thermometer to monitor the cooking temperature.

- Sterilise jars by washing in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry in a warm oven.
- Bring the peaches, sugar and lemon juice to the boil in a heavy saucepan, then reduce the heat and cook for 20 minutes. If you have a sugar thermometer, keep the temperature below 105 degrees C, because above that temperature the peaches will begin to turn into jam.
- Ladle the peaches and syrup into sterile jars and seal.
