A simple and refreshing summer treat featuring fresh peaches frozen in a natural honey syrup, perfect as a cool snack or dessert topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh ripe peaches
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) raw honey
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cinnamon stick (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash 4-5 ripe peaches thoroughly. Peel each peach using a paring knife or by blanching them for 30 seconds in boiling water to loosen the skin, then plunge into ice water. Pat dry.
  2. Slice each peach into 6-8 wedges, removing the pit carefully. Toss slices gently with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice in a large bowl to prevent browning. (About 10 minutes)
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (120 ml) raw honey, 1/2 cup (120 ml) water, and the optional cinnamon stick. Warm over medium heat, stirring until honey dissolves completely but do not boil.
  4. Reduce heat and let it simmer very gently for 3-4 minutes to infuse flavor. Remove the cinnamon stick and let syrup cool slightly. (10 minutes)
  5. Pour the warm honey syrup over the peach slices in the bowl. Stir gently to coat every piece with the syrup. Let the peaches soak for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  6. Arrange the peach slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Make sure slices don’t overlap to avoid clumping.
  7. Place the tray in the freezer for about 2-3 hours until peaches are frozen solid.
  8. Once frozen, transfer the peach slices into zip-top freezer bags or airtight containers. Seal well to protect from freezer burn. Label with the date; these can keep for up to 3 months. (5 minutes)

Notes

Do not boil honey syrup to avoid caramelization. Freeze peach slices in a single layer to prevent clumping. Drain excess syrup after thawing if peaches seem watery. Store frozen peaches up to 3 months, best within 6 weeks for peak flavor. Maple syrup can be used as a vegan substitute for honey.
