This Honey Peach Simple Syrup is made with fresh peaches and no refined sugars. It’s so easy that you’ll be done before you realize you’ve started!
You can make simple syrup using honey. I didn’t know this until recently but apparently mixologists do it all the time. If you’re like me, you either don’t have white sugar in the house or you’ve had it in the pantry so long, it’s all clumped together or yellowed. I just don’t find a regular use for it and prefer more complex flavors when sweetening things up – like those you get in honey, maple syrup or dates, for example.

My last few posts have been all about peaches (sorry, not sorry) but I’ll be sharing the last one of the season tomorrow. To make this recipe, you’ll just need fresh peaches, honey, water and a little time.
And oh. Don’t toss the strained peaches. Save the leftover cooked peaches and add to oatmeal, a smoothie or eat it like applesauce. 😋
Here’s the super simple recipe
Honey Peach Simple Syrup
Ingredients
- ½ cup your favorite honey
- ½ cup water
- 2 medium peaches, pitted, peeled, and chopped
Instructions
- Heat all ingredients in a small pot over medium heat until the honey melts.
- Let the mixture steep for at least 20 minutes. Strain the syrup from the peaches. Save the spent peaches to stir into oats or yogurt or eat it like applesauce - or uh peach sauce.
- Bottle, cap and refrigerate the honey peach simple syrup for up to one week. Some peach particles will likely settle to the bottom, so be sure to shake it up before using.

How long can I store this in the fridge
Marisa
To be on the safe side, I’d say 1 week.
Jean
I just cut up fresh peaches and froze them. Would they work in this recipe?
Marisa
Yes. You might need to cook the syrup a little longer to cook off any extra liquid from the peaches being frozen but I think they’d work great – especially if they were good fresh!
Cassie
Can I use agave instead of honey?
Marisa
Yes. It will change the flavor of course and you’ll probably need to cook the syrup just a little longer so it thickens. But agave should work fine. Enjoy!
