Pickled peaches

Gorgeous fragrant fruit with velvety skin and juicy flesh - peaches - is one of many people's favourite treats. Despite the fact that China is supposedly the birthplace of sweet peaches, these fruits are popular around the world.

In the winter season, it is quite problematic for our country to buy juicy, and most importantly mature fruits, but there is a way out - you can use canned peaches. Such a product retains a bright aroma, delicate taste and a number of useful properties of fresh fruits. Today there is a fairly wide range of canned peaches on sale, which differ not only in the appearance and shape of the container, but also in the composition of the product.

Pickled peaches are considered an excellent option for canned fruits. They are distinguished by an unusually savoury taste, the same delicate aroma and attractive appearance. The difference between simple canned and pickled peaches lies in the composition of the product. For example, in peaches preserved in addition to water, sugar and citric acid are present, while pickled peaches are made with the addition of various spices and spices.

Each cook undoubtedly has a lot of recipes with pickled peaches. In this form, these fruits remarkably replace fresh fruits in all kinds of sweet dishes: cakes, cakes, pies, snacks, gourmet desserts and fruit salads. In addition, unlike fresh fruits, a jar of pickled peaches is always at hand.

By the way, it is easy to cook pickled peaches yourself, especially when the choice of fresh fruits is large and the price of them is quite acceptable. You can adjust the amount and composition of the additives used, respectively, the aroma, taste and saturation of the marinade. It is clear that the less sugar you use, the lower the nutritional value of pickled peaches will be.

Many adherents of a healthy diet are interested in knowing whether anything useful remains in peaches after pickling and whether their calorie content is much different. Thus, the calorie content of pickled peaches does not increase much compared to fresh food, but, on the contrary, decreases. But the content of useful substances in the composition of pickled peaches is due to the method of preservation - the higher the temperature, the fewer valuable compounds remain in the fruits and vice versa.
