My Delicious Peach Butter

My peach tree is outdoing itself this summer!  This is the first year I have gotten such a boatload of peaches.

Typically we get a late Spring freeze that zaps all the blooms and I will get a few peaches but this year that did not happen. I guess I need to thank the climate change for that or it was just one of those years.  Look at these beauties!
Delicious Peach Butter Recipe, FlowerPatchFarmhouse.comThey are so sweet, juicy and fragrant filling my house with the sweet scent of late Summer.
I have been eating, freezing and canning peaches for days.  I also have given some away for others to enjoy.
Today I am going to share my Peach Butter recipe with you all.
This is my first time making peach butter, I have made apple butter many times so I figured this was no different and it wasn’t.  They even have easy crock pot recipes that take some of the work out of it for you.
Delicious Peach Butter, FlowerPatchFarmhouse.comStart with peeling your peaches.  Dip the peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds then transfer them to a bowl of ice water, the peel will slip off with a little help from you.  Slice up.  These peaches are clings so it is a little more work to cut away from the pit but not difficult.  This batter bowl was perfect for measuring.  It hold 8 cups. I have two of these and I use them everyday!
Since my peaches are so very ripe and sweet I reduced the sugar, you may wish to up the sugar in the recipe for the level of sweetness in the peaches you get.
I put the sliced up peaches in a big cooking pot and cooked them over medium heat a bit until they were soft.  Then I took a potato masher and smashed them up.  To smooth them even more I then took my immersion blender and ran it around in the pot until it was smooth.  Not too much as you don’t want liquid you just want it like applesauce.
I added the sugar and cinnamon and cooked it down until it thickened a bit.  Before you know it you have this delicious concoction that will give you a delightful taste of summer during the cold months of winter.

That sounds so sinfully delicious.  I love caramel.  I will let you know how it turns out.  Or maybe I will get some apples from my neighbors tree and just make the original recipe.

  1. I would check a reputable official canning site, the rules have changed in recent years for the best safety practices.

  2. Is there a need to hot water bathe the peach butter or will the hot liquid poured up seal okay?

  3. Great name for it. I love peach jam as well as the peach butter. That is next on my list to make as the peaches keep on coming!

    i love making the peaches off my trees into chunky type compote……since my flaky fruit
    hand pies are so well loved. I make different hand pies, one of our favorities are the
    mushroom/cabbage. So portable to take in the motorhome. I bake them as we leasurely
    move along the chosen path.

  5. Yummy, I just told a friend today we need to go peach picking so I can make some liquid gold (what I call peach jam) you now have me in the mood to can some 🙂
