Peach Lemonade Concentrate

Last year one of our customers had a big family event, and they gave me a big box of leftover lemon. What to do? 

Since I could not come up with anything that would use up a box of fresh lemons, I squeezed them. I froze the squeezed lemon juice in cups, 1/2 cups and tablespoons for future use.

This year I was reading the Choptank Electric Cooperative Living and there was a recipe for peach lemonade concentrate.  I thought: what a wonderful drink for the summer, and I can use some of the frozen lemon juice. 

I believe this Peach Lemonade Concentrate will be very handy to have around to serve with a meal or a tea party with young children in your family! 

Ingredients

• 3 cups very ripe, peeled and thinly sliced peaches

• 2 cups lemon juice (bottled or freshly squeezed)

1. Puree the peaches.

2. Bring the peach puree and lemon juice to a simmer. 

3. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.
