Easy Peach Syrup Recipe

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This peach syrup is a delicious and simple recipe you can drizzle over waffles, peach pancakes, and all your breakfast favorites.

Looking for something to make with those extra peaches on the counter or the frozen stash in the freezer? Why not make a new pancake topping that’s packed with summery flavor?

Summer brings an abundance of fresh berries and peaches that often get sliced and frozen if they aren’t used in a dessert or snack first. I’ve made homemade blueberry pancake syrup as well as a strawberry syrup, but today we are turning those fresh summer peaches into a delicious, tangy-sweet elixir. 

Canned, Fresh or Frozen Peaches?

You can use fresh, frozen, or canned peaches to make this homemade syrup. If you choose canned peaches, swap the water for the canned peach syrup, it adds more flavor and you can reduce the amount of sugar by half since it’s already sweetened.

Peach Syrup Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this syrup using fresh or frozen peaches: 

  • 2 cups peaches, sliced or diced
  • ¼ cup sugar or honey
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or tapioca starch

If you’re making this recipe with canned peaches, you’ll need:

  • 2 cups canned peaches
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or honey
  • 1 cup canned peach syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or tapioca starch

How to Make Peach Syrup

I recommend pureeing the cooked mixture in a blender or with an immersion blender. It will produce that smooth and pourable consistency we adore in syrups. 

  1. Simmer
    Bring the water, sugar, and peaches to a boil in a medium saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes. 
  2. Thicken
    In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Whisk to combine and add to the peach mixture. 
  3. Make it Smooth
    Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. 

Sound too easy to be true? Watch how it’s made in the quick recipe video below!

How to Store Peach Syrup

Store this syrup in an airtight jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When you’re ready to serve, remove the container from the fridge and let the syrup reach room temperature or warm it in the microwave for 15-30 seconds.

How to Use Peach Syrup

Initially, I made this peach syrup as a pancake topping, but once you give it a try, you’ll want to drizzle it over anything! I’ve listed a few ideas you can try out below: 

  • Classic Pancakes
  • Peach Waffles or Peach Pancakes
  • Gluten-Free Pancakes
  • French toast
  • Drizzled over stove-top or stirred into overnight oats
  • Top it over Greek yogurt
  • Over a bowl of vanilla ice cream
  • Drizzled over a slice of pound cake
  • To sweeten iced tea

    I’m assuming you can also use this recipe for ANY fruit? Just sub out peaches and use raspberries or blueberries, etc…? Thanks!

      If you want to use another fruit, I would suggest sticking to berries.

    If I use honey, could I add it after cooking the peaches in the water and letting it cool a little? So that the honey remains raw?

      Yes, you can add it after the peaches cool!
