Directions

  1. Peel the peaches carefully. Cut them into long, 1.5 cm thick slices, guiding the knife towards the pit to save time. The slices should weigh approximately 3 kg. ≈ 8 min
  2. Prepare the syrup using the sugar and water. ≈ 3 min
  3. Add the slices to the syrup and place them over the heat for a few moments. ≈ 3 min
  4. For mixing, hold the saucepan by the sides and shake it gently, without ever inserting a spoon: this will keep the slices intact. ≈ 4 min
  5. After about 15 minutes, remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  6. Then, place it on the grill. Repeat several times until fully cooked: the slices absorb the syrup well without becoming mushy. ≈ 4 min
  7. Regularly skim off the foam that forms during cooking. ≈ 3 min
  8. Check for doneness by observing the syrup and slices. Once removed from the heat, add the diluted citric acid in a small amount of water to make the color translucent. ≈ 3 min
