Dried Peaches
Description
Winter preservation at home. Those who love natural sweets without industrial preservatives or flavorings will appreciate this simple dried peach recipe. Of course, you can buy ready-made dried peaches at the store too, but when I found out how they dry them, I stopped buying them once and for all :) Now I make them myself—fortunately, peaches are inexpensive here in summer. In winter I add them to porridge and baked goods, or eat them as is.
