A smooth, spiced fruit spread capturing the sweet, juicy flavor of ripe peaches in a thick, buttery texture, perfect for toast, yogurt, or dessert toppings.

Ingredients

4 cups fresh peeled, pitted, and chopped peaches (about 6–8 medium peaches)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Peel, pit, and chop peaches into small pieces.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves (if using), and lemon juice.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until peaches break down and soften, about 15 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened to a butter-like consistency, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth, or skip this step for chunkier texture.
  6. Let peach butter cool, then transfer to sterilized jars and refrigerate.

Notes

Yields about 3 cups of peach butter.

Variations: add vanilla extract, use maple syrup or honey instead of sugar, add fresh ginger or cardamom, or blend peaches with plums or nectarines.

Store in sterilized airtight jars in the fridge up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.

To restore spreadability if thickened in fridge, gently warm over low heat while stirring.

Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained first.
