Sweet & Delicious Homemade Canned Peaches (Hwando)
How to Make Canned Yellow Peaches at Home
Turn those less-than-perfect peaches into a delightful, refreshing treat! This recipe shows you how to make delicious homemade canned peaches that you can enjoy chilled.
Ingredients- 10 peaches (choose firm and fresh ones)
- 1 cup sugar (granulated or brown sugar)
- 2 cups water (enough to cover the peaches)
- Airtight glass jars (sterilized)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s get started on making delicious canned yellow peaches right at home. You’ll be able to achieve a taste just like the store-bought kind. Are you ready to create this wonderful peach nectar?
Step 2
First, carefully peel the 10 peaches you’ve prepared. Once peeled, cut them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a pot. Now, let’s prepare the syrup. We’ll use a 1:2 ratio of sugar to water. So, measure out 1 cup of sugar. Using brown sugar will give your peaches a lovely color.
Step 3
Add 2 cups of water to the pot along with the 1 cup of sugar you just measured. Ensure there’s enough liquid to fully submerge the peach pieces for even cooking.
Step 4
Place the pot on medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. As it simmers, you’ll notice some foam forming on the surface. Skim this foam off with a spoon; this step helps to create a clearer and more refined syrup.
Step 5
Here’s a crucial tip: the cooking time! Avoid boiling the peaches for too long, as they can become mushy and lose their pleasant texture. Cook them for no more than 7 minutes. This short simmering time is key to preserving that delightful crispness, similar to commercially canned peaches, while ensuring they are perfectly sweet.
