  1. Place the frozen peaches, water, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
  2. As soon as the ingredients begin to boil, reduce heat to simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  3. As the ingredients simmer, stir everything together and smash the peaches so that they break apart and release more of their juices.
