    Peach season is short in the summer so I am making as many peach recipes that we can in this small window of time. This summer my kids have been wanting to make my peach crumble. This peach nectar is PERFECT for adding to your peach bellini.

    Once you make this recipe you will want to use it to make homemade peach moonshine. But please, just sip on that! If you are making a peach bourbon smash, omit the smashed peach and substitute in a tablespoon of this peach juice.

    🌟 Why this recipe is the best.

    • Store bought peach nectars only have to have a small percentage of fruit juice to be classified as a fruit nectar. This recipe has a much higher percentage of peach juice to sweetener ratio, giving you a nectar that is higher in fiber and vitamins vs. a commercial product.
    • This recipe is closer to a juice than a nectar because the entire peach, minus the pit, is used to make the puree.
    • It contains more fiber, flavor and nutrients than you will find in a store bought peach nectar.
    • This recipe contains zero corn syrup and instead uses an all natural honey simple syrup to add extra sweetness and thin out the peach juice.

    🍑 Ingredients

    ingredients with text overlay labeling the food

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    📝 Notes on the ingredients

    • Peaches - freestone, ripe peaches. Freestone peaches are the peaches that the pit is easily removed when slicing open the peach. Ask your grocery or farmer's market which ones are freestone.
    • Lemon juice - as always, fresh is best but in this case I used bottled. Lemon juice it to help keep the juice from oxidizing and turning dark.
    • Honey Syrup - equal parts honey and water, brought to a boil and then cooled. (optional)

    🥤 Instructions

    1. Wash the peaches, removing any blemishes.chef knife showing the propper technique for pitting a peach, slicing from end to end to free the flesh from the pit
    2. Slice the peaches from stem to blossom end and remove the pit. peaches being juiced in a breville fresh juice fountain, white tile backsplash in the background
    3. Turn the juicer on low and press the peaches extracting the juice.
    4. Stir in the lemon juice and the honey syrup (optional). pitcher of peach juice with the foam rising to the top
    5. Allow the foam to rise to the top and remove, if desired.
    6. Serve peach nectar in your favorite glass or in cocktail of choice.

    ⏲️ Variations - Blender Juicing

    I use a Breville juicer when I am making juice. But not everyone has access to a juicer. But you can make this juice recipe in a blender!

    1. Prepare the peaches by washing, removing the blemishes and pits. Roughly chop them.
    2. Blend the peaches with the lemon juice in a blender on high speed for several minutes.
    3. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove the excess skins and bits of peach, if desired.

    ❄️ Storage

    Store this juice in a closed container, in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

    If you have extra juice you can pour it into ice cube trays to be used in recipes at another time.

    📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    Peach nectar vs peach juice?

    Peach JUICE is just pureed peaches whereas peach NECTAR has additives such as water, sweeteners and an acid such as lemon juice. This is technically a NECTAR recipe but we use nectar and juice interchangeably in my house from time to time.
