Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 6 cups water
  • 3 cups chopped peaches
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh lemon juice
  • 2 peaches (sliced for garnish)
  • 2 lemons (sliced for garnish)
  • 1 bag frozen peaches (for serving (to use as ice!))
  • cajun seasoning
  • fresh oregano for serving

Instruction

  • Heat the water, peaches and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce it to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Carefully add the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Pour the mixture into a jar and refrigerate it for a few hours, or overnight.
  • Once refrigerated, pour the peach mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl measuring cup to get rid of the peach solids. I like to use a spoon to really press out all the juices and liquid!
  • In a large pitcher, combine the peach juice with the lemon juice. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. You can taste at this point and add more lemon juice if desired! Stir the lemon wedges and peach slices into the pitcher.
  • Fill a plate with a tablespoon or so of cajun seasoning and rim a glass with a lemon wedge. Dip the rim into the seasoning and coat it. Fill the glass with ice.
  • Pour the lemonade over the ice and garnish with peach slices, lemonade slices and fresh oregano. Serve!
