Print Recipe

Equipment

Ingredients

2 peaches
1 vanilla bean or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla paste
½ inch fresh ginger or ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 cinnamon stick or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup brown sugar or cane sugar
1 cup water

Instructions

Pit and cut peaches into chunks (no need to peel), discarding the pits. Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and pull it open to expose its seeds. Slice ginger into coins.
2 peaches, 1 vanilla bean, ½ inch fresh ginger
Add peaches, vanilla bean, ginger, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, sugar, and water to small saucepan over medium heat and stir until dissolved.
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 cinnamon stick, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup water
Bring syrup to a boil then remove from heat and mash/muddle peaches to express all their juices.
Allow the syrup to fully cool then strain into an airtight container.

Notes

Preparation

Don’t toss out the cooked peaches! They make a great compote or can be added sweetness and flavor to oatmeal, smoothies, and more.

Substitutions

Replace the brown sugar or cane sugar with other granulated or liquid sweeteners in a 1:1 ratio with the exception of powdered or confectioner's sugar, which can make the syrup cloudy.

Storage

Store the syrup in an airtight food-safe container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

To freeze, transfer syrup to a freezer safe container to store for up to three months. I recommend freezing in ice or candy molds for easier thawing and use. Keep in mind that, based on the sugar content, it might not freeze completely solid.
