Peach Sauce

Easy to make in 15 minutes or less, this peach sauce is great for everything from breakfast to dessert. You'll love it paired with creamy yogurt and crunchy granola, but it's also incredible over ice cream or cheesecake. It's a simple sauce that can be made fresh or cooked briefly to last longer in the fridge.

Ingredients

3 cups peaches diced, 1 pound, 2-3 large
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp Grade A maple syrup or honey, or more to taste
1/4 cup water
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Start by dicing up the peaches into small pieces. I prefer to leave the skin on because it's much easier, and it also makes for beautiful color in the finished sauce, and you don't notice them.
Next, mix together the cornstarch, maple syrup, and water until the cornstarch is dissolved.
Add the diced peaches and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Lower to medium-heat or low, and maintain a simmer.
Stir occasionally to make sure it's not sticking, for 3 to 5 minutes until the peaches are barely softened and the consistency has thickened.
Cool the sauce completely and refrigerate before serving it with yogurt or ice cream. This sauce can be served lightly warm over ice cream or cheesecake if desired, but we personally prefer it cold.
