This smooth peach puree uses just a handful of ingredients to capture the fruit's natural sweetness and bright color. A short simmer softens the peaches while a touch of lemon juice keeps the flavor balanced and the color vivid. Use it over yogurt, swirled into oatmeal, folded into cocktails, or spooned over cake.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water

Method

  1. Peel, pit, and slice the peaches.

  2. Combine the sliced peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat.

  3. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are very soft and breaking down.

  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

  5. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until completely smooth, about 1 minute.

  6. Press the puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining skin or fibrous bits, if a smoother texture is desired.

  7. Transfer the puree to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour, before serving.
