Perfectly Peachy Peach Sauce

This perfectly sweet and tart sauce is a cinch to make and only calls for five simple ingredients. I made this sauce to go with my Peaches and Cream Cheesecake with Pecan Crust, but I thought it was so delicious, it deserved its own post! I love this sauce poured over vanilla ice cream, pancakes, French toast and more!

Here’s what you need:

Can I make this sauce with fresh peaches?

Absolutely! This sauce would be delicious made with fresh peaches. Just be sure they are ripe! And make sure they weigh 12 ounces after they have been peeled and pitted.

I chose frozen peaches for this recipe simply because peaches are very seasonal and not available year round, unfortunately.

Can’t find peaches? That’s okay! The simple method used to make this sauce can be used for practically any fruit! Swap out the peaches for mangoes, raspberries, pineapples and more!

How to make peach sauce:

Start by puréeing the thawed peaches for several seconds in a food processor until they are completely smooth.

Combine the puréed peaches with water and sugar in a medium saucepan and simmer for ten minutes. Stir regularly to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

It will reduce a bit and become deeper in color.

Pass it through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps.

Pour the finished sauce in a jar. Allow it to cool before serving. Keep your fruity, delicious peach sauce refrigerated for up to a week!

By the way, remember that Peaches and Cream Cheesecake I mentioned earlier? This peach sauce was made for it, literally! If you are a fan of all things peach, you need to put this recipe on your to do list!
