A simple peach syrup recipe makes for a delicious topping on pancakes, waffles and even ice cream. Perfect for canning, this yummy homemade syrup lets you enjoy the flavor of summer peaches year round.
Is there anything more delicious than fresh summer peaches? I can’t think of anything.
We love the sweet, juicy flavor and like to enjoy it on all sorts of sweet treats.
Rather than just cut up peaches to top our breakfasts and desserts with, I made a fresh peach syrup that’s so good.
How to Make
This recipe is very easy. You don’t even need to peel the peaches!
To make it it, remove the pits from the pieces and then slice each one into pieces.
Stir the sliced peaches, sugar and water together in a large skillet.
Then bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Let the moisture boil for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
Then remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool. It will thicken as it cools.
After about half an hour, the mixture should be cool enough to press through a sieve or strainer.
Once you’ve strained it, pour the pressed syrup into a clean glass jar. Discard the pulp.
Store the syrup in a sealed jar in the fridge for 3-4 weeks.
How to Can
Canning makes a great way to make those summer peaches shelf stable for the winter months.
You can can this peach syrup using the traditional water bath method.
If properly canned, the syrup will store well for up to a year.
Once the seal’s broken though, you will need to refrigerate the syrup (sealed) and use within two weeks.
Serving Suggestions
I love drizzling this syrup on pancakes and waffles. It’s also delicious:
- as an ice cream topping
- mixed into a milkshake
- stirred into seltzer or club soda for homemade peach soda
- used as a mixer in a cocktail
Tips and Tricks
- No need to peel the peaches. Straining the mix will remove the pulp and peels.
- Keep stirring when the mixture boils so it doesn’t burn.
- Can sub a granulated sugar alternative as long as it has the same melting properties.
