Print Recipe

A simple and effective method to freeze peaches in a sweet honey syrup that preserves their texture and flavor, perfect for enjoying summer peaches year-round.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds ripe but firm fresh peaches
  • 1 cup raw honey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup water
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Rinse peaches under cold water. Peel the skins off using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler. Slice peaches into 1/2-inch wedges, removing pits carefully.
  2. Toss peach slices gently in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup raw honey and 1 cup water. Warm over low heat, stirring frequently until honey dissolves completely. Do not boil. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  4. If using, stir in optional cinnamon or vanilla extract into the syrup.
  5. Pour the warm honey syrup over the lemon-coated peach slices and stir gently to coat evenly. Let peaches sit in syrup for about 10 minutes.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread peach slices in a single layer without overlapping.
  7. Freeze peaches on the baking sheet until firm, about 2 hours (flash freeze).
  8. Transfer frozen peach slices and syrup into freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags. Pour any remaining syrup over peaches, seal tightly removing as much air as possible.
  9. Label containers with date and freeze for up to 6 months.
  10. To use, thaw peaches in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for 30 minutes. Drain excess syrup if needed.

Notes

If peaches release too much juice when thawed, drain excess syrup to avoid watery texture. Flash freezing prevents slices from sticking together. For easier peeling, blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunge into ice water. Let syrup cool before pouring over peaches to maintain texture.
