Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Ripe peaches
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 whole Vanilla bean
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and peel the peaches. Remove the pits and chop the peaches into small chunks.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, granulated sugar, and water.
Split the vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the seeds using the back of a knife, and add both the seeds and the pod to the saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The peaches should become soft and the mixture will slightly thicken.
Remove the vanilla bean pod and discard it.
Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Be cautious with hot liquids if using a blender.
Return the pureed mixture to the saucepan. Stir in the lemon juice and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the syrup to thicken slightly. The syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.
Remove from heat and pour the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container or jar to remove any pulp (optional, for an ultra-smooth syrup).
Let the syrup cool completely before sealing and storing in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Serve over pancakes, waffles, desserts, or mix into drinks. Enjoy!
