Ingredients
2
pounds
fresh peaches
diced into approximately ½-inch pieces, about 4 cups worth
¼
cup
sugar
1
tablespoon
fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Combine the peaches, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously while the sugar melts and the mixture comes to a boil.
Continue cooking for about 6-8 minutes, until the peaches are soft. Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to smash the fruit a bit as it is cooking.
Cool completely before transferring the sauce to an airtight container and storing it in the refrigerator.
Notes
Adjust the sugar as needed, depending on how sweet the peaches are. Fresh, ripe, in-season peaches work well with the amount of sugar listed here.
