    Capture the essence of summer with this Peach Simple Syrup, bursting with sweet, juicy flavor. With just three ingredients and easy step, this simple syrup recipe will be ready for mocktails, ice cream, and lemonade in no time!

    Peach Simple Syrup in a glass jar

    Peach simply syrup, along with other fun simple syrup recipes, is a great way to take an otherwise ordinary dish or drink into something more flavorful. Start your day with a drizzle of syrup over your oatmeal or a splash in your morning tea for the best pick me up! I love that this recipe is homemade, with nothing artificial like store bought syrups.

    What I love about peach simple syrup

    • The summer flavors: Bottle the vibrant peach flavors of summer and drizzle over this old fashioned peaches and cream recipe for the ultimate dummer dessert.
    • It couldn’t be easier, with just three simple ingredients and minimal effort, you’ll have this syrup ready to go in no time. Plus, it’s a great way to use leftover peaches or canned peaches.
    • Versatile uses: The possibilities for this syrup are practically endless. Experiment with different cocktails, desserts, and recipes like this gluten-free peach cobbler.
    • Make ahead option: You can keep infused blends and other simple syrups for up to a month in the refrigerator. This is a great option if you like to use syrups frequently.

    Can I use canned peaches?

    Yes, you can use canned peaches for this recipe. Just be sure to drain them well before using. You can also use frozen peaches but make sure they are thawed and excess water is drained. But, I prefer fresh peaches, especially during late summer or early fall when they’re in season!

    What do you need for homemade simple syrup?

    • Water – Any water will do, nothing fancy needed.
    • Sugar – I like to use white sugar for a neutral flavor, but you can also use brown sugar, coconut sugar, date sugar, or raw sugar for a different flavor profile.
    • Flavoring/Fruit – You can switch up the fruit for a diferent syrup. Some of my favorites are strawberry simple syrup, raspberry simple syrup, and blueberry simple syrup.

    How to make simple syrup

    Mix: Add equal parts water and sugar to a medium saucepan and whisk until combined

    Water added to sugar in a pot

    Add the fruit: 1 and 1/2 cups of fresh or frozen peach slices

    Boil: Bring the mixture to boil over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally until sugar dissolves

    Steep and strain: Once boiling, remove from heat and let steep for 45 minutes. Pour syrup through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass bottle.

    Pro tip: For a smooth and silky syrup, make sure you strain the mixture well. Press down on the fruit as you strain to extract all the fruity flavors.

    Can I make simple syrup in advance?

    Make this syrup ahead of time and store it for up to a month in the fridge or up to 2 weeks at room temperature. A mason jar or another sealed glass jar works great. Once the syrup looks cloudy, it’s no longer good. This is a great option if you like syrup in your coffees, cocktails, or even drizzles on pancakes in the morning.

    How do you thicken fruit syrups?

    If you like a thicker syrup, you can cook the syrup for a longer time to allow excess moisture to evaporate. I like thicker syrups for pancakes, waffles, and other foods while classic syrup is best for drinks.

    Ways to customize simple syrup

    • Citrus twist: Add lemons, oranges, or limes when steeping for a slight, yet bright, citrusy twist to this homemade syrup.ย 
    • Minty infusion: If you like to make virgin mojitos, consider adding a few mint leaves for an aromatic summer beverage.
