How to Make Country Style Peach Butter

  1. Puree 6 cups of canned peaches (about 6-8 peaches) in a blender until completely smooth.
  2. (Optional) For a beautiful apricot-peach blend, substitute up to 2 cups of the peaches with canned apricot puree.
  3. Transfer the peach (and apricot) puree to a slow cooker. Add 4 cups of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon ground allspice.
  4. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Cook on high for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Watch carefully during the last 30 minutes to ensure the mixture doesn't burn.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for another 1 hour or until the desired consistency is reached, stirring occasionally.
  7. Carefully ladle the hot peach butter into sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, and seal with lids and rings.
  8. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure safe sealing (optional).
