Print Recipe
- 1 lb. peaches about 3 large peaches, Note 1
- 1 cup water

Pit and slice the peaches. (No need to remove the skin.)
In a medium saucepan, combined peach slices, water, and sugar and gently bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Simmer for 15 minutes, gently mashing the peaches with a fork.
Remove from heat and strain it through mesh sieve. Press on the fruit pulp to extract as much juice as possible.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
Note 1: For best results, use ripe, fresh peaches. If you don't have fresh peaches, frozen peaches work too.
Note 2: Traditionally, simple syrup is made with white sugar. You can also use honey, brown sugar, or cane sugar if you prefer.
Storing Tips:
- Store simple syrup in an airtight container or sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- To freeze, carefully pour the syrup into an ice cube tray and freeze for up to 3 months.
- If you don't want to use the syrup immediately, can the syrup with the water bath method. It will last up to one year if canned properly in sterilized jars.
