Apricots In Syrup
I happened to find some fresh apricots at the supermarket one day and challenged myself to preserve them in syrup. It's been 4 years since my first attempt. The first year I just made a small amount, and perhaps because of that it was a big success. The next year I reduced the sugar, but that version wasn't sweet enough, so I took the syrup out of the jar and added more sugar. On the 3rd year I wasn't able to seal the top on properly, so I had to throw away half of the 5 kilos I'd preserved.
Make sure to pack the jar tightly. If you put the apricots in neatly, there will be no gaps after adding the syrup. 200 g of sugar and 200 ml of water is not enough sometimes, so I've listed a generous amount of syrup ingredients.
The white liquor is used as insurance against spoilage if you aren't able to achieve a proper vacuum seal. Recipe by Koto no tsuki

Seasonal Apricot Jam Seasonal Apricot Jam
I always thought of apricot jam as a cheap jam mainly used as a glaze on top of cakes and tarts, but I realized I was wrong after making it from fresh apricots. The first time I tried making it was just last year, and it was surprisingly delicious. Since then, I've decided to make it every year.Since apricots contain a relatively high level of acidity, please use an enameled or a stainless steal pot.You can store the jam in a jar in the fridge for about 1 month, but it's better to use it up sooner.

Kumquats Simmered In Rich Sugar Syrup Kumquats Simmered In Rich Sugar Syrup
It's here! Kumquat season! So, I decided to make my regular kumquats in sugar syrup. I tried using raw cane sugar as the sugar, which made the flavor rich and mild - a big success.If the bitterness bothers you, bring the kumquats to a boil first and drain before simmering them in the sugar syrup.I use this in recipes a lot, so I made a big amount during kumquat season, and froze it. If you want to eat it plain, it's best enjoyed fresh instead of freezing it. For an easy to make amount. Recipe by yaburie -

Chestnuts Simmered In Syrup Chestnuts Simmered In Syrup
＊To prevent the chestnuts from falling apart, don't stir them around when they are simmering, and be sure the heat is low enough so that they're not dancing around in the pot.＊Once you add the sugar, try not to fiddle with the chestnuts too much, or the sugar may crystallize or become cloudy. Just tilt the pot around to stir it.＊To wash the boiled chestnuts, just rub them gently with your fingers to remove the surface fibers. Even if you can't remove them at first, they will come off the 2nd or 3rd time, so don't force it.＊The later chestnuts that are available in late September to October have less bitterness and tannin.

Peach Compote Peach Compote
I used some bruised peaches to make compote. You can eat it plain, but I also recommend using it to make tarts or jelly. Here are the peach compote pieces with yogurt in a different dessert recipe.-In Step 2, if your peaches are soft, be careful not to simmer them for too long.-If you're making a lot at once, you can boil the peaches whole. If boiling whole, extend the boiling time a little. If you want to store the compote for a longer time, increase the amount of sugar and store in a sterilized jar. The amount of sugar in this recipe is reduced, so enjoy as soon as possible. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 -

Chestnuts Cooked in Syrup Chestnuts Cooked in Syrup
The biggest concern when making chestnuts in syrup is preventing from falling apart while cooking, but if the cooking time is too short, they'll be hard. I finally found the right cooking time that works for me after making them several times, so I uploaded the recipe so I could remember it.By adding vinegar, the chestnuts are less likely to fall apart. it doesn't affect the flavor. If you cook the chestnuts over high heat or cook them for too long, they will fall apart. Even if they are on the firm side when you are done simmering, by leaving them to cool down in the syrup, they'll become floury and tender all the way through, and the flavor of the syrup will permeate too. Please be sure not to overcook. Recipe by Puru berry -
