Sookie St. James’ Peach Sauce – Gilmore Girls
Ingredients:
- 7 ripe peaches
- ½ cup of white granulated sugar
- ¼ cup of maple syrup
- 2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
- Fill a large saucepan halfway with water and place over high heat
- Cut peaches in half and remove pits while you wait for the water to boil
- When the water begins to boil, place the peaches in the water and reduce the heat to low to let it simmer for 20 minutes
- Drain the water and wait for the peaches to cool
- Once the peaches are cool, cut them into small chunks and I would recommend peeling the peaches before you blend them to make the sauce more smooth in the end
- Place the peaches in a blender and blend until smooth
- Pour the peach puree back into the saucepan and return to low heat
- Add the sugar, maple syrup, lemon juice, water, and cinnamon to the sauce and stir
- Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes and enjoy once it finishes cooling!
