This easy spiced peach butter is a cozy, homemade spread made from fresh peaches and warm spices, perfect for canning and enjoying year-round.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to slip off skins. Pit and chop into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine chopped peaches, sugar, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, ground cloves, and nutmeg. Stir gently.
  3. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low simmer. Stir often to prevent sticking and simmer until mixture reduces by half and thickens, about 45-50 minutes.
  4. Remove the cinnamon stick. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth and silky. Alternatively, blend in batches with a regular blender and return to pot.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra cinnamon or a pinch of salt if desired.
  6. Ladle hot peach butter into sterilized glass canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean, seal with lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove jars and cool completely on a towel or rack until sealed. Store in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Refrigerate after opening.

Notes

Keep heat low during simmering to prevent scorching. Stir often. Use the blanch-and-shock method to peel peaches quickly. If peach butter is too runny after blending, simmer longer. Always sterilize jars and lids thoroughly before canning. Lemon juice helps preserve acidity and flavor balance.
