Step 1

Wash and slice the peaches into several segments, small enough to fit your juicer chute.

Step 2

Simply feed the peaches through the chute and let the machine do all the work.

Step 3

Wash and slice the peaches in halves or quarters.

Step 4

Transfer the fruit to your blender with the water and blend until smooth and juicy.If you don’t mind the thick consistency, you can enjoy the juice as is. Otherwise, pour it through a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag to remove the excess pulp.You can also follow this method by placing the peaches and water in a large jug and using an immersion blender. Though it won't be as smooth.

Step 5

Follow either of the methods above to make the peach juice recipe. Then, add your sweetener of choice and the acid to taste.I recommend starting with just ½ tablespoon of sugar per cup of juice and a squeeze of lime (maybe ½-1 tsp). Then increase to taste.

Step 6

Store: this peach juice is best enjoyed immediately for optimal nutrients and freshness. However, you can store it in a covered bottle or jar in the fridge for 1-2 days. With the addition of sugar and an acid, which are natural preservatives, the peach nectar will usually last slightly longer (2-3 days). Just note that without the acid, peaches naturally oxidize. Freeze: you can freeze the peach juice either in an XL ice cube tray or within freezer-safe jars or Ziplock bags. I like to separate mine into single-cup portions. Freeze for 3 months. Allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before consuming or blend from frozen with a bit of liquid for a simple peach slushy.
