Peach Simple Syrup

This is something I usually always keep on hand in my fridge. It's easy, tasty, and goes great in cocktails and deserts. Especially vodka! chom nom nom
You can replace peaches with any frozen fruit of your choice.



2 cups water
2 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/3 cup frozen peaches
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract









In a sauce pan bring water to a raging boil, mix in sugars and stir slowly so it dosn't over boil. cook for about 3 minutes.

Pour in vanilla extract and frozen fruit one piece at a time to not cool the pot too fast. Bring back up to a strong boil. Turn temperature down to medium low and simmer for about 10 min.
Remove pot from heat and let sit for another 10 min, or until cool. Seep the peaches like you would a tea. If you can, it helps to use the back of a spoon to mash them slightly. Move syrup mixture to a bowl with something to strain the peaches with. A sugar sifter works well.
Take the peaches and either mash them more with a spoon or put them in a food processor for a couple seconds. Bring purred peaches back to the syrup and put in an air tight container. Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 months. Pour over vanilla ice cream, plain yogurt, or mix with 1 parts vodka, 1 parts peach syrup and 2 parts club soda! Hola!
