Small fruits can be cooked whole, with a stone, without a stone, cut into halves. So that slices of peaches are properly soaked in syrup, you can prick them with a toothpick.

Prepare the dishes in which you will cook peaches. Pour water into it and put on fire. Dissolve sugar in water. Syrup is done based on 1 kg of peaches, 2 cups of water and 1-1.2 kg of sugar. The mixture must be brought to a boil, then boiled until sugar is completely dissolved. For sugar to dissolve better, stir the mixture more often.

Squeeze a lemon to get juice. Add lemon juice to the jam, bring everything to a boil, boil for half an hour. In the finished peach jam, the fruits should be transparent. At the end of cooking, reduce the heat to a minimum, remove the cinnamon stick.

Useful advice
To make peach jam not only tasty, but also tender, peaches should be boiled over with boiling water and peeled before cooking. Pieces prepared in this way can be boiled.
If the fruits intended for preservation are too hard, boil the sugar syrup. Hard peaches do not give enough juice when boiling, and the jam may burn.
