- Next, rinse the peaches well, carefully removing the “fluffiness” characteristic of this fruit from the surface.
- Then we’ll put our peaches in jars (they need to be sterilized first).
- Place a pan of water on the stove and wait for it to boil.

There are different ways to close southern fruits for the winter, there are:
- cold method;
- hot cooking.
The cold version involves using fruit juice as a liquid. According to this recipe, the fruits are not boiled. With the hot method, the main ingredient is first heat treated, and ordinary water or any juice is used for filling, but it is better if it is from white grapes.
Another important step in preparing peach compote with pits for the winter is sterilization. Before closing the jars, it is advisable to treat them with steam or hot water. This will help extend the shelf life of the drink.
Comment! Some housewives neglect this procedure and claim that it is not necessary.
Adding apple juice can overpower the peach flavor of the nectar.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
A better result can be achieved if you use fresh, aromatic and high-quality fruits to prepare the preparation for the winter; ideally, they should be elastic and dense, and have a medium size. Before closing the jars, all ingredients should be inspected for spoilage, and bad, low-quality and overripe specimens should be removed. After sorting, rinse the fruit very thoroughly with running water, peel, and remove the skin, if indicated in the recipe.
Advice! It’s easier to remove peach fuzz if you soak them in water with a teaspoon of baking soda for 30 minutes.

Classic seedless option
Peculiarities. This is the easiest peach compote recipe. It is designed for a 3-liter jar. Accordingly, for a smaller volume the amount of ingredients must be changed proportionally. This recipe for pitted peach compote suggests filling the jars by a third or half. If you need more fruit and less liquid, the fruit is placed up to the hanger of the jar. Citric acid removes excessive sweetness.
You will need:
Preparation
Quick peach compote
Ingredients:
- peaches – 300-350 gr
- sugar – 150 g or to taste
- water – 600-650 ml
- citric acid - on the tip of a knife
Cooking method:
- It can be prepared less carefully than peaches canned in syrup if you want to quickly
- It is not necessary to peel the peaches, just wash them thoroughly, cut them into halves, remove the pits, then cut them into slices that will fit comfortably in glasses.
- Do not forget that delicate fruits, when stored in air for a long time, noticeably lose their visual appeal (darken) and, what is especially undesirable, deteriorate in taste.
- Therefore, we do everything very quickly or immerse the peach slices in water while the syrup boils.
- Bring the syrup (water plus sugar) to a boil, boil, skim off any foam if it has formed, add citric acid.
- Dip the prepared peaches into the calmly boiling syrup, let the compote boil and turn off the heat.
- Cover the pan with a lid and leave to cool to room temperature, at the same time it will infuse.

Apple-peach drink
Peculiarities. The combination of peach and apple is quite popular. There are many sweet dishes using them - juices, pies, jams. Thanks to the successful combination of two tastes and aromas, the recipe for compote from peaches and apples also deserves attention. If desired, you can also add a vanilla note. The calculation is given for a three-liter jar.
You will need:
- peaches - five pieces;
- apples - two medium fruits;
- sugar – one and a half glasses;
- vanillin - on the tip of a knife.
Preparation
Peach compote with syrup
Ingredients:
- Peaches
- Syrup
Cooking method:
- Peaches canned in syrup are best peeled.
- To do this, blanch them in hot water or over steam.
- It is more convenient and effective, in our opinion, to blanch peaches in hot water (slightly cooled boiling water).
- Immerse the fruits in hot water for 2 minutes, then carefully remove (use a colander) and rinse with cold water.
- As a rule, after this operation the skin is easily pulled off from the fruit.
- Immediately cut the peeled peaches into halves or quarters.
- Better in halves - canning in large fragments is more convenient, because When using canned peaches to cook something later, it will be easier for you to cut them the way you want.
- Again, we do everything quickly or store the peeled peaches in water.
- Place the prepared peaches in sterile jars and fill them with hot syrup, prepared similarly to that described above, only with an increased amount of sugar and citric acid.
- To ensure reliable storage, we sterilize the peaches - place them in boiling water, the level of which should be 1-2 cm below the necks of the jars, for 7 minutes.
- The larger the volume of the jars, the longer the sterilization.
- We seal the jars tightly, turn the lid down and wrap them for longer cooling.

Peach compote – recipe “with halves”
If you are lucky enough to buy fairly ripe peaches (but not overripe, remember that!), then by making a longitudinal cut around the circumference of the entire fruit, you can turn the pulp by holding both halves with both hands and making rotational movements against each other. This way the bone will come off easily.
Place the peach halves in jars and preserve in the same way as described above. The advantage of this method is that, firstly, more fruit will fit in the jar (and less compote, hurray!), and secondly, such preservation can, if desired, be extended for two to three years: hydrocyanic acid, due to which is not recommended for storing compotes with stone fruits for a long time, is removed in this version.
Place the pan on the stove and let it boil.
Peach compote for the winter without pits
Ingredients:
- Peach – 1 kilogram
- Granulated sugar - 250 grams

- In order not to strain the finished compote afterwards, the nectarines need to be cleared of the small fluff on their surface.
- Place the fruit in a container of water and add regular baking soda there at the rate of one teaspoon per liter of water.
- After thirty minutes, all that remains is to rinse them by hand under running water and dry them with a towel.
- While the fruits are in the water, you can work on the jars - wash them thoroughly and scald them with boiling water to make them even more sterile.
- Next, the nectarines need to be divided into halves using a knife.
- According to the recipe, sugar is poured on top of the fruit placed in the jar, as well as lemon juice or its slices (2-3 pieces).
- Pour boiling water over the peaches, just removed from the heat.

How to prepare peach compotes for the winter according to recipes
Recipe for whole peaches, sterilized
Remove the stalks and wash them. If you want to make compote without skin, then place the peaches in a colander, cover it with a lid and place over boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Then we place the fruits under cold water and easily remove the skin from them.
Peaches that have been peeled and steamed are not blanched before storing. Fruits with skins are blanched with steam for a couple of minutes or with water for 5-10 minutes. Before laying, place the fruits in water and keep them in it for no more than an hour. Otherwise they will lose their taste.
Then we put them in jars and fill them with 35% (550 grams of sugar per liter of water) syrup. Cover the jars with lids and place them in a sterilization bath at a temperature of 50 degrees.
Over high heat for 20 minutes, bring the temperature to a boil and sterilize over low heat at 100 degrees: 0.5 liter jars for 10 minutes, 1 liter for 15 minutes. When cooking peach compote, we take into account the state of ripeness of the fruit during sterilization.
You can also make hot bottling from whole fruits with skin.
Recipe for halved peaches, sterilized
Cut the washed peaches, with or without skin, into halves along the groove. After removing the seeds, store the halves of the berries in water.
Then we place the halves figuratively in jars. Fill with 30% sugar syrup, cover with lids and sterilize at 100 degrees: 0.5 liter jars for 12 minutes, 1 liter for 25 minutes, 3 liter for 40 minutes. For a 1 liter jar we use 500 grams of both peaches and syrup.
Recipe without sterilization
In the southern regions, they practice a less reliable (shelf life no more than a year), but faster and easier way of preparing peach compote - without sterilization. Any cans are used, starting with 1 and ending with 3 liters. Only jars and lids that have been previously washed are sterilized. We fill the jars with prepared fruits, the quantity of which depends on what you would prefer to eat in winter.
If the peaches themselves, then fill them up to the hangers, and if they are liquid, then no more than half the volume of the jar. And pour boiling syrup, which we prepare at the rate of 300 grams of sugar per liter of water. Bring the syrup to a boil and pour it over the fruit. We seal the jars, let them cool and put them away for storage. Fast, simple and reliable!
Peach compote has high nutritional value due to the presence of sugars, vitamins, minerals and other salts. My desire to make a variety of compotes is not limited to fruits from the dacha.
With the current abundance in stores: apricots, grapes,... , but you never know what you can use to make these wonderful homemade preparations for the winter.
Then we put them in jars and fill them with 35% (550 grams of sugar per liter of water) syrup. Cover the jars with lids and place them in a sterilization bath at a temperature of 50 degrees.
