Ingredients for Homemade Peach Butter:

3 pounds of peaches
1½ cups of white granulated sugar
1 tbsp of lemon juice

How to Make Peach Butter:

Step 1

Wash the peaches well and remove the pits from the center, then slice them into½ inch pieces leaving the skin on, and add them to a heavy-bottomed stock pot or saucepan. Pour in the sugar and lemon juice, then give them a good stir to combine everything and dissolve the sugar with the juices.

Step 2

Place the pot or saucepan on the stove over medium heat, and slowly bring the mixture to a boil. Make sure to stir it consistently to ensure the sugar does not stick to the bottom and is thoroughly dissolved, and then keep stirring until rolling boil.

Step 3

Keep the mixture at a rolling boil for about 20 minutes and adjust the heat as needed, then skim off any foam that forms on top, and after 20 minutes remove the mixture from the heat. Pour it into a conical strainer placed over a container, then pour the peach butter back into the pot, and let it simmer to warm it through.

Step 4

Prepare the water bath, canning jars, lids, and rings, then pour the peach butter into the prepared jars, and allow the mixture to cool before storing it in the refrigerator or freezer. If canning, put the jars in the water bath for about 5 minutes, then remove, and cool for about 24 hours before removing the rings to check the integrity of the seal.
