directions

  • Place peaches in blender and pulse till smooth (if you like it a little chunky, just don't pulse as much).
  • Place peaches and all other ingredients in a heavy bottom pot.
  • Cook on medium to low heat for about 3 hours , the thicker you want it the longer you cook it.
  • This can then be processed in a water bath for 5 minutes.
  • The amount you end up with is determined by how much you cook it down. I get approximately 6-1/2-7 cups of butter.

  1. Since I am not fond of cloves, I used ginger which is wonderful with peaches. Yummy! I also prepared the peaches and added the seasonings and sugar. Stir until blended. Put in a 9X13 pan in a slow oven. Stir now and then until thick as desired. Put in jars and seal or freeze in containers.
     
  2. AWESOME and very very yummy!!! Thanks for a great recipe. I cooked mine in a crock pot on high for 3 hours and it was perfect.
     
  3. I had some yucky textured peaches that I wanted to do something with. I made this pretty close to as written--I never measure anything exactly--and it turned out sooo yummy. The second time I made it, I cut back a little on the spices, but that is just personal preference. It makes the house smell wonderful.
     
  4. I used a recipe like this one last summer when we had a boutiful crop of peaches and gave this out as christmas gifts- and ended up losing the recipe. So glad I found it on here! Oh man, did everyone LOVE this! The house smells so incredibly good while this is cooking, it is so pretty in a decorative jelly jar with a ribbon around it- that blushing pink color is great! Fantastic on warm rolls or biscuits. Thanks so much for posting!

  1. Eliminated cloves, used ginger instead. I also use ginger in peach pies and cobblers. If you like cloves, reduce the amount by at least half and add ginger.
