Ingredients:

• 3 cups very ripe, peeled and thinly sliced peaches
• 2 cups lemon juice (bottled or freshly squeezed)
• 3 cups sugar

Directions: Purée the peaches then bring the peach purée and lemon juice to a simmer. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Freeze it in pint containers. To make the lemonade, add equal parts of water and the thawed concentrate to a pitcher and serve. It’s very handy to have around to serve with dinner or if people stop by unexpectedly!
