Ingredients

• 6 whole fresh peaches
• 0.5 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the peaches thoroughly and remove their pits. Cut each peach into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.

Step 2

In a slow cooker, combine the honey, brown sugar, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, and water. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 3

Place the peach halves or quarters into the slow cooker, cut side down. Ensure all the peaches are submerged in the liquid as much as possible.

Step 4

Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 2 hours, or until the peaches are tender and infused with the spiced syrup.

Step 5

Gently stir the mixture once halfway through cooking to coat the peaches in the syrup evenly.

Step 6

Once finished, carefully remove the peaches from the slow cooker using a slotted spatula to avoid breaking them.

Step 7

Pour the remaining syrup into a separate container for serving or storage.

Step 8

Serve the Slow Peaches warm or chilled, topped with the syrup and optionally paired with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of granola.
