Honeyed Peach Pancake Syrup Recipes

Steps:

• Peel the peaches. The best way to do this is to submerge them in boiling water for 30 seconds. The skin will become loose and easy to peel. Slice the peaches in half and remove the pits. At this point, you can either blend the peach halves down to a puree in the blender or chop them into very small pieces. In a sauce pan over medium-high heat, combine the peaches, sugar, allspice, butter and water (aka everything). Bring mixture to a boil and immediately reduce heat to medium-low. Stirring often, cook until the mixture thickens - about 8 minutes. Cooking Note: If desired, add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to the syrup. It isn't necessary, but it does tend to brighten the flavor of the peaches. The same can be said about smoothing out the flavor with a teaspoon of vanilla. For vanilla, stir it in after the syrup has thickened to get the most flavor out of it. To make a Peach Maple Syrup, replace the sugar with the same amount of pure maple syrup. To make a Peach Nectarine Syrup, just replace one of the peaches with a nectarine. I'd say do half nectarines, but they can be a little too tart sometimes.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the sugars and water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in maple flavoring. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:

• Combine peaches and water in a nonreactive 3-quart pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until peaches are soft and have colored the liquid, 20 to 25 minutes. Strain peaches and their juice through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Let peaches stand, occasionally giving them a gentle press with the back of a spoon, 5 minutes. Discard peach solids.
• Return strained juice to pot. Stir in honey to taste. Bring to a boil. Skim off and discard any foam that appears on top. Taste and add lemon juice to adjust sweetness. Pour hot syrup into clean half-pint jars or bottles, leaving 1/2 inch headspace and using wide-mouth jars if freezing. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel.
• Let cool completely (about 1 hour). Apply clean lids. Store in fridge up to 3 weeks or in freezer up to 6 months.
