Peach Syrup

My middle daughter Molly turned 20 today. She requested homemade waffles with fresh fruit and berry syrup for dinner. I have several recipes for waffles on my blog, but her favorite is this Whole Wheat Waffle recipe. with Berry Syrup.

I also decided to make peach syrup, which everyone loved. (Recipe below)
