Instructions

Step 1

Prepare Jars

First, wash and sterilize *three-liter jars* thoroughly. This ensures that your compote remains fresh and delicious for the long winter months.

After sterilizing, evenly distribute the *peaches* into each jar. Then, gently pour the *sugar* over the peaches.

Step 2

Peach Preparation

Soak the peaches in *water with a bit of baking soda* to remove any fuzz or impurities. This step ensures that the texture of the peels will not affect your compote.

Be sure to rinse thoroughly after soaking to remove all traces of soda.

Step 3

Final Notes

Once your jars are sealed and filled with the sugary peaches, tuck them under a *warm blanket for two days*. This helps in the initial brewing phase, enhancing the flavors.

After this period, store the jars in a cool, dark place until you are ready to enjoy this sweet treat.
