Servings: 10 ounces
Equipment
- syrup bottle or mason jar
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen peaches sliced (about 4-5 small peaches)
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 cinnamon sticks or 1/4 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the peaches, brown sugar, water, cinnamon sticks, salt and butter.
- Bring the mixture to boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
- Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches have softened and the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a jar or heat-safe container. Note: Save the leftover syrup-soaked peaches—they’re perfect for cobbler, smoothies, or as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal french toast, pancakes, or ice cream.
- Use in any recipe right away or allow the syrup to cool completely before storing in the fridge. It will keep for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
Notes
Once chilled, the butter will separate and sit on top of the syrup. This is perfectly normal, just give the syrup a good shake to incorporate the butter again before using the syrup in drinks. If you don't like the separation, see the Variations & Substitutions section in the recipe above for instructions on how to use butter extract instead.
