The recipe for "Pyatiminutka" peach jam is very simple. The dessert got its name for an unusual and simple way of processing products.
First you need to prepare the fruit. Put the orange and lemon in a deep cup and cover with boiling water. After half an hour, cut them into pieces, removing all the bones along the way. If you omit the last step, the jam will be bitter and tasteless.
Wash the peaches and cut them in half. Of course, we don't need bones either.
Grind the prepared fruits with a meat grinder, mix them with sugar and boil over medium heat for five minutes. After that, the fruit mass must be cooled at room temperature and sent to the refrigerator for a day. The next day, bring the puree to a boil again, then reduce the heat and cook for another five minutes.
You just have to put the dessert in jars and roll it up. Store it along with other winter blanks in a dark and cool place.

The unusual taste of this delicacy will quickly become popular with your friends and family. Jam can be safely offered to children, since alcohol evaporates even at the cooking stage. If you want to use the recipe for peach wedge jam, then prepare the following ingredients in advance:

- ground cinnamon - one pinch.
The recipe for jam with peaches and cognac is described in detail below. Be sure to follow all of the recommendations as they will ensure you get an excellent result.
Wash the fruit well, peel it. Free the pulp from the seeds and cut it into large wedges.
Peaches can also be boiled with peels. Just be sure to rub them with a hard towel to get rid of the prickly lint.
Add sugar to the fruit wedges and let them rest (this step will take you one to three hours). When the fruits are juiced, send them to the stove and light a fire.
If you come across hard peaches, they will release very little juice. Therefore, you can add another 50 ml of water to the pot.
When the fruit mass boils, remove the foam from the surface, add cinnamon and pour in the cognac. Cook the peaches for one hour, then immediately pour the hot dessert into sterilized jars and close the lids. Next, the blanks need to be turned upside down and wrapped in a warm blanket.The next day, when the jam has cooled, transfer it to the pantry and leave until the right moment. And if you don't want to wait too long, then open one jar and try the treat immediately.
The finished dessert is very sweet and juicy. Fruit pieces can be used to decorate homemade cakes and pastries.
Cooking jam in a slow cooker
Modern kitchen appliances help the housewives prepare hearty lunches and dinners every day. But we suggest using it during the harvest season, when it’s time to make preparations for the winter. Jam with peaches and cinnamon will decorate a family tea party and cheer up a party even on the coldest evening.
Required products:
- 1200 grams of whole peaches;
- one kilogram of sugar;
- cinnamon stick.
Cooking peach jam in a slow cooker will not take much of your time.
Rinse the fruit under running water and peel it off.
You will greatly simplify your task if you first immerse the fruits in boiling water for a minute, and then put them in cold water.
Cut the fruit in half, remove the seeds. Cut the pulp into slices, transfer them to the multicooker bowl and cover with sugar. When enough juice is released from the peaches, you can start cooking.
After a couple of hours, turn on the device, set the "Porridge" or "Parboiled Rice" mode. Bring the fruit mass to a boil without covering the bowl. Remove the foam and cook the dessert for seven minutes. Cool the jam.
When four hours have passed, the multicooker must be turned on again. Boil the jam again and cool. In the third step, add a cinnamon stick to the bowl and cook the dessert for another seven minutes. We no longer need the cinnamon, so we need to get it out and put it aside.
Peach jam for the winter is ready. Prepare small jars, wash them with any detergent, and then scrub well with baking soda. Rinse the dishes several times and sterilize them in any convenient way. Dip the tin lids in boiling water for a few minutes. Divide the hot jam into the jars and roll up with a key. Remember to place the dishes upside down and cover them with some blankets.
The very next day, you can serve a sweet dessert with tea or any other hot drinks. Store the rest of the jars in a dark and cool place.
Sweet aromatic peach jam can be prepared with any aromatic additives and spices. If you like culinary experiments, surprise your family with the original taste of a sweet dessert.
