Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Fresh peaches
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Peel the peaches: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently score an 'X' at the bottom of each peach. Place the peaches in the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice water bath. Peel off the skins once cooled.
Dice the peaches into small cubes, discarding the pits.
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir to coat the peaches evenly.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the peaches begin to release their juices and soften, about 5-6 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the peach mixture to thicken the sauce.
Cook the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before using. Serve warm over ice cream or let it cool completely for storage.
Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving if desired.
