Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 cups ripe peaches, sliced No need to peel if the peaches are fresh.
  • 1 cup sugar Adjust based on the sweetness of the peaches.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Adds brightness to the flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Optional for added warmth.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, combine sliced peaches, sugar, and lemon juice.
Cooking
  1. Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are mushy and fragrant, about 2 hours.
  2. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until velvety smooth.
  3. Taste and add cinnamon if desired, then continue to cook for another 10 minutes.
Cooling and Storing
  1. Once cooked, pour the peach butter into clean jars and let them cool.
  2. Refrigerate and enjoy within 3 weeks.

Notes

For thicker texture, cook longer. If the butter is too runny, simmer until desired thickness is achieved. This peach butter can be made with frozen peaches as well; just thaw them first.
