Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large fresh peaches
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cups water
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel and pit the peaches, then dice them into small chunks.
Hull the strawberries and cut them into halves or quarters if they are large.
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced peaches, strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the fruit has softened and the liquid has thickened slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and use a potato masher or a fork to mash the fruit to your desired consistency. For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a regular blender and pulse until smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well.
Let the sauce cool to room temperature and then transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Serve the sauce chilled or warmed, as desired.
