Print Recipe

A sweet, warmly spiced peach butter spread made quickly with simple ingredients, perfect for cozy mornings or unexpected guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900 g) fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • A pinch of ground cloves (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: Score a small ‘X’ on the bottom of each peach and blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water. Peel, pit, and chop into roughly 1-inch pieces. This takes about 10 minutes for 2 pounds.
  2. Combine ingredients: Place chopped peaches, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and water into a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir well to combine.
  3. Cook the mixture: Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Simmer for 40-50 minutes until peaches break down and mixture thickens.
  4. Check consistency: When thickened to a spreadable consistency like thick applesauce, taste and adjust sweetness or spice if needed. Use an immersion blender if a smoother texture is desired.
  5. Cool and store: Remove from heat, cool to room temperature, transfer to clean jars, seal, and refrigerate. Keeps up to two weeks. Freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Stir gently and regularly to avoid caramelizing sugars on the bottom. Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Test doneness by spooning a small amount onto a chilled plate; if it wrinkles and holds shape, it’s ready. Vanilla extract is best added at the end to preserve aroma. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. For a smoother texture, blend with an immersion blender.
