Notes
*The color of the syrup differs depending on the ripeness and variety of the peaches used and whether they're peeled or unpeeled.
*To make the syrup using frozen peaches, you’ll need a 1 pound bag of frozen peaches slices in place of the fresh peaches. The flavor will differ slightly.
*Peeling the peaches is optional. If you decide not to peel the peaches, cutting them into slices works best.
