2 lbs peaches
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- Peel peaches. (Cut an X in the bottom of the peach, submerge in boiling water for 30 seconds, then in an ice bath for one minute, and peel.)
- Cut peaches into eighths, removing pits. Combine with water, and simmer near boiling, 15-20 minutes, until tender.
- Puree with food processor, and return to pot, adding sugar and lemon juice.
- Simmer near boiling, 30-40 minutes, stirring often, until a spoon leaves a train across the bottom of the pot.
- Let cool. Store in an airtight container, refrigerated.
