Scale
Ingredients
- 3 lbs fresh peaches (about 6 cups once sliced and pitted)
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 2 tbsp cane sugar
- 1 lemon (juiced)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Remove the pits from the peaches and slice them while keeping the skin on to retain texture and nutrients.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, toss the sliced peaches with corn starch, cane sugar, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. The corn starch helps thicken the natural juices released during cooking.
- Prepare the Slow Cooker: Lightly spray the interior of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and easier cleanup.
- Cook the Peaches: Add the peach mixture to the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 4 hours or on LOW for 8 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning. The slow cooking method softens the peaches and creates a luscious syrup.
Notes
- Peach skins are left on for added texture and nutrients but can be peeled if preferred.
- Stir every hour to prevent sticking and burning, especially if cooking on HIGH.
- Use ripe but firm peaches for best results.
- This recipe can be doubled or halved to suit your needs.
- Serve warm or chilled as a topping or dessert.
- For a thicker consistency, cook longer or add a bit more corn starch.
