Servings: 12 Servings
Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen peaches or 3 cups fresh peaches
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine, and adjust heat to bring to a simmer or low, rolling boil.16 ounces frozen peaches, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Continue to cook at a simmer, while stirring often, until the sugar dissolves. Smash the peaches to break them apart, and cook for a total of 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and pour through a mesh sieve into a heat-safe container.
- Refrigerate to chill or use immediately. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for three months.
Notes
- You can use fresh peaches if they're in season. Wash them really well, then cut them into quarters or smaller chunks and remove the pits. The rest of the recipe is the same. Cook the peaches with sugar just as you would if they were frozen.
