Ingredients

450 g 1 lb fresh Peach – peeled and diced
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar Can be increased for sweeter taste
2 tablespoon Water
Zest of 1/2 small Lemon or 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice – optional
1 teaspoon Cornstarch for a thicker sauce, use 1 tablespoon cornstarch
pinch of Salt

Equipment

Stove Top

Method

Prepare the Peach: Wash, peel and dice the peaches. In a small pan, add water, sugar, diced peaches, lemon zest or lemon juice and cornstarch. Stir to dissolve the cornstarch. Cover the pan.
Cook the Peach: In medium low heat, cook for 10- 15 minutes or until the peaches are soft and tender. Stir at least once then cover again and continue cooking. In the last 5 minutes, set the heat to low making sure not to burn the sugar. Cooking time could vary depending on how ripe the peaches that you are using, adjust cooking time as needed. If you are using a really ripe peach, check the peach at 10 minutes mark. The consistency will thicken as it cools down. You can increase the cornstarch to 1 tbsp if you want a thicker consistency, or if you prefer it sweeter you can add more sugar.
Cool and Store: Transfer in a bottle and let cool completely before storing in the refrigerator.

Notes

Do NOT use over ripe Peach. Choose one that is ripe but still firm to the touch. This way it doesn’t get mushy when you cook it.
Medium Heat – Cook the Peaches in medium low heat to avoid burning the syrup.
Let it Cool – The filling will thicken as it cools, so I recommend let it cool completely so you get a thick consistency when you use it. Be patient, it is worth the wait.
