Paleo Honey-Sweetened Peach Preserves
There is something deeply satisfying about a jar of homemade peach preserves sitting on your counter, and this version is as wholesome as it gets. Fresh summer peaches are the star here, sweetened with honey instead of refined sugar and warmed with Ceylon cinnamon and ginger for a flavor that feels almost like pie filling in a jar. Most store-bought preserves rely on cane sugar, pectin, and additives that don't fit a grain-free, whole-foods approach — this recipe sidesteps all of that with just five clean ingredients. The technique is straightforward: a quick blanch to peel the peaches, then a long, slow simmer until the mixture thickens and holds its shape on a cold plate. You can leave it chunky and rustic or mash it down to a silky spread, depending on your mood. Spoon it over almond flour pancakes, swirl it into coconut yogurt, or just eat it straight from the jar — no judgment here. Once you taste how bright and naturally sweet real peaches can be, the store-bought stuff genuinely won't compare.

- ½ cup honey
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
Instructions
- 1
To peel the peaches, score a shallow X on the bottom of each one, lower them into boiling water for 30–45 seconds, then transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water. The skins will slip off easily. Pit and roughly chop the peeled peaches into 1-inch pieces.
