Description
This easy homemade peach butter is a smooth and spiced fruit spread made with fresh peaches, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Perfect for canning, gifting, or spreading on toast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups peach puree (8–9 fresh peaches)
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the peach puree, light brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Ensure your saucepan is big enough to handle the mixture bubbling up.
- Bring everything to a roiling boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer.
- Stir well from the bottom every 3–4 minutes with a spatula to avoid scorching.
- After about 45 minutes, the mixture should thicken to a rich, spreadable consistency. It will thicken more as it cools.
- Fill sterilized jars with hot peach butter, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
- Wipe rims, add lids finger-tight, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, ensuring jars are covered by at least 1 inch of water.
- Remove jars and let sit upright for 24 hours. Listen for the ping to confirm a proper seal!
