Easy Peach Syrup

Picture from butterwithasideofbread.com

4-5 Fresh Peaches OR a 29 ounce can of Sliced Peaces
1/3 cup Granulated Sugar (We cut this in half)
2 Tbsp. AND 1 tsp. Corn Starch
1/4 cup water (We actually used 1/4 cup of the peach juice from the can)
2 Tbsp. Butter (We used 1)
1 Tbsp. Vanilla
1/4 tsp. Ground Cinnamon (We omitted this entirely)
a dash of Salt

If you are using fresh peaches, peel and slice them, and set them aside. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the Sugar, Corn Starch and Cinnamon. Take about 1/3 to 1/2 of the peaches and add to the mixture, pour in the water (or peach juice) and stir. Puree the mixture with an immersion blender, and stir. The mixture will be pale and cloudy.
Microwave for 3 minutes (while it is in the microwave chop the rest of the peaches into much smaller pieces), stir, 1.5 minutes, stir, add chopped peaches as well as the Butter, Vanilla and Salt. Return to microwave for an additional minute.
Use right away or transfer to an airtight container to be kept in fridge (where it will stay fresh for about 2 weeks). Heat for 1-2 minutes before serving. This is great on Pancakes, Waffles and French Toast. You can also make this on the stove, if you would prefer. This is my mom's new favorite.
