This Homemade Fresh Peach Sauce is so versatile and can be served so many ways. Making fruit sauces are a great way to enjoy fresh fruit flavor while knowing exactly what the ingredients are.
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.
When 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.

- 7 Peaches *skinned and pits removed
- 1 lemon juiced

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.
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.
You can add other spices or herbs to this sauce and come up with a ton of different uses. Here are a few more of my favorite ways that I served it!
