2 cups frozen peaches (thawed and diced)
¾ cup water (divided)
½ cup granulated sugar
⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
⅛ tsp salt
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp cornstarch

Meal Prep Tips

Bulk Preparation: Make a double batch of peach sauce in one go. This recipe is easily scalable, so adjust your ingredient amounts according to how much you want.
Ingredient Gathering: Set aside a specific day for all your meal prep. Gather your ingredients ahead to streamline the cooking process.
Time-Saving Cooking:
- Simultaneous Cooking: While your peach sauce simmers, use the time to prep other ingredients for your meals or snacks.
- One-Pot Wonder: Use a single saucepan to save on dishes.
Multitasking: If you have other recipes that require chopped fruits, utilize some of those fruits for the peach sauce to minimize prep time.

Storing Your Peach Sauce

Refrigeration: Once your peach sauce has cooled, store it in an airtight jar or container. It will keep in the fridge for up to a week, making it easy to grab for quick breakfasts or snacks.
Freezing for Future Use: To keep your peach sauce fresh longer, pour it into freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags (lay the bags flat for easy stacking). It will last up to 3 months in the freezer.
Thawing: When ready to use, thaw in the refrigerator overnight. If the sauce thickens, simply stir in a splash of water to achieve your desired consistency.
