A vibrant, sweet-tart sauce blending ripe peaches and raspberries, perfect for drizzling over desserts, pancakes, or frozen treats for a burst of fresh fruit flavor.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine peaches or nectarines, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl.
- Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Combine raspberries and light corn syrup in a blender and puree until smooth.
- Add the raspberry mixture to the peach mixture and stir to combine.
Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker sauce, consider adding a bit of cornstarch mixed with water to the peach mixture before combining with the raspberry puree. If you’re out of light corn syrup, honey or agave syrup can serve as good substitutes. Fresh or frozen peaches and nectarines work well, but ensure they are ripe for the best flavor. This sauce is great for drizzling over pancakes or pairing with desserts like Cheesecake.
Serving Suggestions
This delightful sauce pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or yogurt for a refreshing dessert. It can also be used as a topping for pancakes or waffles, making for a delicious breakfast option. Consider serving it alongside Cheddar Snacks for a sweet and savory combination, or drizzle it over a slice of cake for an elegant touch.
