How to Make Old Fashioned Peach Butter

  1. Wash and pit 6 pounds ripe peaches. Roughly chop half of the peaches.
  2. Place the chopped peaches into a food processor or blender and pulse until coarsely chopped, leaving some texture.
  3. Pour the chopped peaches into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven.
  4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the remaining peaches.
  5. Stir in 4 cups granulated sugar and 1/2 cup lemon juice.
  6. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for 30-45 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened considerably and begins to pull away from the sides of the pot. The consistency should be like a thick applesauce.
  7. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
  8. Ladle the hot peach butter into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  9. Wipe the rims of the jars clean.
  10. Place lids and rings on jars, tightening fingertip-tight.
  11. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for precise instructions).
  12. Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check seals to ensure they are airtight.
