Homemade Peach Simple Syrup
Peach simple syrup is an easy way to add a fresh, peach flavor to your favorite drinks, desserts, and more. It's made with real fruit and is incredibly versatile.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- ⅔ cup organic cane sugar
- 2 medium ripe peaches pits removed and cut into slices
Instructions
- Dissolve sugar. Heat the water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Constantly stir until the sugar dissolves, then add the peach slices.
- Simmer. Reduce to medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mash the peaches with a fork as they soften to infuse more of their flavor into the syrup.
- Strain. Place a fine mesh strainer over a glass jar and pour the peach syrup through, gently pressing against the peaches to help extract all the syrup. Don't throw away the syrupy stewed peaches, they're delicious!
- Cool and store. Let the syrup cool to room temperature before storing it in the fridge.
