Homemade Peach Syrup is a summer delight. This recipe yields a natural, brightly colored simple syrup which is perfect for drizzling on almost any dessert or sweet breakfast porridge.

You can also reserve the cooked down fruit to top waffles or Baked Cheesecake.

Fresh peaches are abundant during the summertime and this recipe makes good use of the bounty. Other fruit-based sauces are just as easy to make and great for using up excess fruit, especially if you find your fruits going soft faster than you can eat them.

Try similar recipes such as Blueberry Sauce, unique barbecue sauces made with mangos or raspberries, Sweet Mango Dipping Sauce, or Savory Cheese Puffs with Raspberry Sauce.

Peach Syrup is an easy addition to make basic dishes more delectable. This recipe allows you to skip peeling the peaches too, which is a huge timesaver.

The fresh peach flavor is concentrated in this sunny-hued syrup, thanks to a low and slow cook with the whole fruit, brightly colored peach skins and all. You may also choose to puree the cooked peaches or save them to enjoy over oatmeal.

Why This Recipe Works

You will only need 3 ingredients to make this easy and delicious fresh Peach Syrup.

This is a great recipe to use up extra peaches during the bountiful summer months. It’s the perfect use for slightly overripe or bruised peaches, which you can sometimes buy discounted at your local farmer’s market.

There are many ways to enjoy Peach Syrup. It’s so versatile you can use it from breakfast to dessert or in a special beverage. Try it drizzled over pancakes in place of maple syrup, atop scoops of vanilla ice cream, or add a bit to your favorite iced drink, such as lemonade.
