Ingredients
- 1 C granulated sugar
- 1 C water
- 2 fresh, medium peaches (rinsed, pit removed, sliced into a few pieces)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally and smashing the peach slices periodically to help release their juices. Continue until the sugar has dissolved (approximately 10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and allow the peaches to steep in the syrup for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Pour the cooled syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or liquid measuring cup to remove the fruit.
- Store the peach syrup in an air-tight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
Notes
Recipe Variations and Substitutions
- Use frozen peaches. If peaches aren't in season, frozen peach slices will work just fine. Just swap in the frozen peaches one-for-one with the amount of fresh peaches in the recipe card.
- Add some citrus. If desired, toss in a few slices of orange or lemon peel to the syrup as it simmers for a pop of bright, citrusy flavor.
- Add in some spices. If desired, toss in a cinnamon stick, a dash of nutmeg, a dash of cardamom, or a 1-2" piece of fresh ginger root to bring warm and mellow notes to your syrup (kind of like a dessert!).
