I love peaches! We are lucky enough to have a wonderful peach seller near us called
The Peach Truck . A few days ago we bought a big box of peaches and we had to find ways to use them up! I wanted to try and preserve some of them for the months when they aren't in season, so I made some peach salsa and........Peach Butter!!
I'd never tried peach butter until now, but I love apple butter so, I thought 'Why Not?'! It is so smooth, sweet, velvety and delicious! The best part is, it tastes just like fresh peaches! This peach butter is super simple to make, only takes 3 ingredients and it is super healthy for you!
So, let's get started!
Ingredients:
12-15 Peaches
1 TBS Lemon Juice
2-3 TBS Honey
See! That's it! :)
Start by peeling, pitting and roughly chopping the peaches.
Add them to a pot with the lemon juice and place on the stove top.
Bring to a boil and cook for 25-30 minutes. Make sure to stir frequently. The peaches should become soft and mushy and there should be a lot of juice in the pot.
Use an immersion blender to blend the peaches to a thick 'pulp' consistency. Bring this to a boil and cook for 20 more minutes, stirring often.
Let is cool for a bit. Place your water bath pot on the stove, half full of water. Bring this to a boil while we move on to the next step.
Place your jam jars in your sink and pour boiling water over them to sterilize. Put your jar lids in a bowl and pour boiling water over them as well. Let them sit for 30 seconds or so.
Fill your jars with the peach deliciousness and wipe the rim clean. Screw on the lids and get them really tight! You don't want to lose any of this amazing stuff! :)
Its so beautiful! I just want to eat it now! You can, but to save it for later, we need to can it in the water bath!
Place the jars into the water bath pot with the water boiling. Cook for 10 minutes.
Place them on the counter and let them cool. You'll hear them pop when they seal as they cool.
Once they have cooled, store them in your pantry! Or, you can eat it right away on some toast, biscuits or scones!
Yum yum yum! This is so delicious and healthy too! You don't need sugary, processed jams when you can have this healthy, homemade and perfectly sweet peach butter!
I hope you enjoy this post! I really hope you try this recipe and see for yourself how amazing this peach butter is! I can't explain how perfect it is!!!
