Learn how to make delicious peach butter with this easy recipe. Perfect for spreading on toast or using in your favorite recipes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine chopped peaches, sugar, and water in a large pot.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until peaches are very soft, about 20-30 minutes.
  3. Mash the peaches with a potato masher or use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
  4. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency, about another 30-60 minutes. The peach butter should be thick enough to hold its shape on a spoon.
  6. Ladle the hot peach butter into clean jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and screw on the lids.
  8. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, or until the lids are sealed.
  9. Let cool completely before storing in the refrigerator or a cool, dark place.

Notes

  • For a smoother peach butter, you can blend the cooked peaches before simmering them down further.
  • Adjust the sugar and spices to your taste.
  • If you don’t have ripe peaches, frozen peaches can also be used. Thaw them completely before starting.
  • Peach butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or frozen for longer storage.
