A simple and healthy sugar-free peach preserves recipe that captures the pure essence of ripe peaches with natural sweeteners, perfect for a guilt-free spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon calcium citrate powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash peaches thoroughly. Peel if desired using a peeler or blanching method. Dice into 1/2-inch pieces to yield about 4 cups.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine diced peaches, 1/2 cup water, lemon juice, and monk fruit sweetener. Stir gently to mix.
  3. Place saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until peaches soften and mixture thickens. Mash some chunks if a less chunky texture is preferred.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract and ground cinnamon if using. Add calcium citrate powder for a firmer set if desired and mix well.
  5. Check consistency; if too loose, simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour into clean glass jars or airtight containers. Cool to room temperature before sealing. Store in refrigerator and consume within 2-3 weeks.

Notes

Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Stir regularly to prevent scorching. Adjust sweetness gradually. For a firmer set, add calcium citrate powder. Can substitute monk fruit with erythritol, stevia blends, raw honey, or maple syrup. Store refrigerated up to 3 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
