Recipe

Rinse the peaches thoroughly under running water, then peel off the skin.
Cut the peeled peaches into bite-sized pieces and place them in a pot or deep pan.
Sprinkle salt 1/3 teaspoon and raw sugar 1/3 cup evenly over the peaches, mix gently, and let sit for 5 minutes.
Once the raw sugar has mostly dissolved and the sweetness is well distributed, add half a cup of water and turn the heat to high.
When it starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium and continue simmering for about 5 minutes until the peaches become soft and tender.
Turn off the heat once the peaches are perfectly cooked and let cool completely at room temperature.
After fully cooling, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and gently stir to enhance the aroma.
Transfer to a glass container and refrigerate to enjoy chilled.

Peel and cut peaches into bite-sized pieces.
Mix salt and raw sugar together, let sit for 5 minutes, then add water and simmer on medium heat for 5–7 minutes.
Turn off the heat, let cool completely, then mix in lemon juice and refrigerate.

Cooking tips

Adding just a tiny amount of salt during cooking significantly enhances the peach's natural sweetness.
Always add lemon juice only after turning off the heat and once the preserve has cooled completely to preserve its fresh aroma.
Both firm and soft peaches can be used; adjust the simmering time according to your preferred texture.
