Pro Tips

• For vibrant color, use the reddest skin peaches.
• I make this peach syrup recipe with the orange flesh peaches, but feel free to use white peaches too.
• Opt for peaches that are ripe and fragrant. The natural sugars in ripe fruit will infuse your syrup with a more intense and delightful flavor. Plus, it’s a great way to use up peaches that are slightly overripe.
• If you’re looking for a more intense peach flavor, consider slicing or dicing the peaches before adding them to the sugar-water mixture. This increases the surface area in contact with the syrup, enhancing the infusion process.
• Allow the peaches to sit in the cooled syrup for at least 1-2 hours after boiling. This gives the flavors a chance to mingle and intensify. The longer you let it sit, the more robust the peach essence will become.
• Strain the syrup after the peaches have worked their magic. This ensures a smooth, velvety texture without any bits and pieces. A fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth works wonders for this task.

Recipe Variations

• Add berries – add in some other fruit like strawberries, raspberries, apricot and more.
• Add spices – add in vanilla, cloves, allspice and ginger.
• Add herbs – thyme and mint make a great addition to this.

Prep and Storage

• Prep – Prepare the syrup in advance so it has time to develop the flavors and chill before using.
• Store – Store in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
