Peach Sauce

Sweet and tangy, this homemade peach sauce is the perfect topping for yogurt, ice cream, or even pancakes! Made with fresh ripe peaches, a hint of cinnamon, and a touch of honey, this sauce is a delicious way to savor the flavors of summer all year round.

Ingredients

• 3 ripe peaches, diced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, granulated sugar, water, honey, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk until the sugar has dissolved.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the peaches are soft and the sauce has thickened.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the peach sauce cool to room temperature.

Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Serve chilled.

Notes

For a sweeter peach sauce, use 3-4 ripe peaches or add a little more granulated sugar to taste. You can also use canned peaches if fresh ones aren’t in season.

Adjust the amount of honey and lemon juice to your taste, as they balance out the sweetness and tanginess of the sauce.

If the sauce is too thick, add a little water, and if it’s too thin, simmer for a few more minutes. Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or ginger to give the peach sauce a unique twist.

The cooled peach sauce makes a great topping for yogurt, oatmeal, or ice cream, and it’s also delicious as a sauce for pancakes, waffles, or French toast.
