The type of pot and the altitude you are at will be the determining factors. Read the instructions for your pot.

  • If you are using a canning pot these guidelines will help you. For an altitude of 0 to 300m, cook for 10 minutes. From 300 to 900 m cook for 15 minutes. From 900 to 1800 m cook for 20 minutes. For higher altitudes, cook for 25 minutes.
  • If you are using a pressure cooker read the instructions. This will normally take about 8 minutes.

Advice

  • 2 kg of peaches will turn into a scarce kg of peach preserve.
  • Add lemon juice to the boiling water to prevent the peaches from turning black after being peeled.
