Peach Sauce

I grew up in an agricultural community where we enjoyed fresh summer an fall produce. We shared it, ate it fresh, or canned it for a rainy day. I rely on farmers markets or grocery stores for my produce now but regardless of where it comes from, one thing remains the same,  I don’t want to waste it. So when I had several peaches that were getting beyond their prime I decided to whip up some peach sauce. What I couldn’t use right away I put in the freezer for another day.

Peach SauceWhen my children were younger one of their favorite treats was homemade applesauce. I usually made it on cold days and served it with soup, stew, or chili. It was just one of those combinations that went well together. I’d cook up a large batch and break it down into smaller containers and pop into the freezer. This is exactly what I did with my homemade peach sauce.

Can’t make it now? Pin it for later!

Ingredients

  • 7 Peaches *skinned and pits removed
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 3/4 cup sugar

Instructions

  • You can skin the peaches before or after you cook them.  Cut them in half and remove the pit.  Cover the bottom of a deep sided pan with water.  Add peaches and allow to cook until softened, approximately 20 minutes.
  • Peaches are too fibrous to pass through a sieve so add them to a blender, food processor or stick immersion blender.  Process them until smooth.  Return them to the heat and add lemon juice and sugar.  Heat until sugar is dissolved, approximately 10 minutes.

Notes

You can make as much or as little of this sauce at a time.  If your peaches are really sweet you may not add as much sugar.  I also choose to blend it smooth.  You can make it chunky if that's what you prefer.

    Peaches are my favorite summer fruit. And, as their season comes to a close, I need to eat all that I can! This sauce looks divine. Perfect for me. I’d also serve it over cottage cheese for breakfast! Yum!

    I would love to try your recipe! But can I ask you a few questions? Exactly how many grams of peaches did you use? Also, how long will this sauce last? I mean the expiry date?

      Hi Christina! I don’t know how many grams but I used about 7 peaches. It doesn’t really matter though. This recipe is very forgiving. It will freeze for at least 6 months. In the refrigerator, it would last at least 7 days. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you’ll let me know how your sauce turns out.

    I have made this over the years just like you. I used to make healthy pancakes often, and use this sauce as a syrup. Even the day my daughter got married, I’d prepared granola parfaits layered with a peach sauce. Good stuff!
