Description

Slow Cooker Spiced Peach Butter is a smooth, flavorful spread made from fresh peaches simmered with cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice in a slow cooker. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as an appetizer addition to charcuterie boards, this easy, comforting recipe is a great way to enjoy the taste of summer peaches any time of year.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds yellow peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1¼ cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel, pit, and slice 3 pounds of yellow peaches carefully, then measure out the sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice.
  2. Combine in Slow Cooker: Place the peach slices, cinnamon, lemon juice, and sugar into the 6-quart slow cooker crock. Toss gently with a wooden spoon to mix everything evenly.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crock and cook on low heat for 8 hours. This slow cooking will soften the peaches and allow the flavors to meld perfectly.
  4. Cool Slightly: After cooking, remove the crock from the slow cooker base and set it on a cooling rack to cool slightly before pureeing.
  5. Puree Peaches: Use an immersion blender to process the tender cooked peaches into a smooth, thick peach butter. The puree will thicken immediately and continue to thicken as it cools.
  6. Store Properly: Transfer the peach butter into clean mason jars and refrigerate. The peach butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one month.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Spread on toast, serve with breakfast dishes, or add to your favorite charcuterie board for a deliciously spiced summer treat.

Notes

  • Frozen peaches can be used year-round if fresh peaches are not available; thaw before use.
  • Peeling peaches is easier if they are blanched in boiling water for 30 seconds and then shocked in ice water.
  • Keep the slow cooker lid closed during cooking to retain moisture and ensure proper cooking.
  • If thicker butter is desired, cook uncovered for the last hour to reduce excess liquid.
  • Use clean, sterilized jars to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage.
