Prepare the workstation and gather ingredients.

In a pot, combine water and corn syrup, then sprinkle in sugar to hydrate it.

Once the sugar is hydrated, turn on the heat to medium and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, do not stir; swirl the pot gently to ensure even cooking.

Cook the sugar until it reaches a blonde caramel color.

While the sugar cooks, prepare the peaches by cutting around the seam and twisting to remove the pit.

Cut each peach in half and then slice each half into three pieces for thinner slices.

Select slightly underripe peaches to prevent them from becoming too squishy during cooking.

Prepare aromatics by peeling half a lemon and smashing a thumb-sized piece of ginger.

Add the lemon peel and smashed ginger to the caramel for flavor.
