How to Make Peach Butter
- Prepare the Peaches: Start by removing the pits from your ripe peaches and cutting them into quarters. This will help them cook down evenly, ensuring a deliciously smooth texture.
- Blend the Peaches: Process the peach quarters in a food processor or high-speed blender until they reach a smooth consistency, making sure not to liquefy them. You want that perfect spreadable texture!
- Cook the Peach Puree: Pour the peach puree into your slow cooker or stock pot. For slow cooker, set on low with a cracked lid, cooking for several hours. For stove top, set over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until thickened, about 30-40 minutes.
- Adjust Flavor: Perform a taste test once your peach butter has cooked down. If it needs a little more sweetness, add your sweetener of choice to enhance those natural flavors.
- Store or Enjoy: Once ready, enjoy your peach butter immediately, or scoop it into jars to freeze or can for later use.
