Peach Butter is simple to make, perfect for canning, and a delicious way to enjoy summer peach flavor all year long!
Last week I spotted some gorgeous peaches at the market and – a bit on impulse – ended up buying a huge box of those beauties to bring home!
Peaches have been perfectly sweet this year – and we’ve been grilling and poaching them, as well as adding them to our favorite fresh peach smoothie recipe! But all the while, I knew that I would be making a batch of this sweet and spicy Peach Butter so we could enjoy sweet summertime flavor long after peach season is over!
This peach butter recipe is from the same farm that our popular apple crisp recipe was originally found, and it is very easy to make! Simply peel and pit the peaches before puréeing them in a food processor. Then sweeten the purée with granulated sugar and reduce the mixture on the stove until thickened. Once the purée is reduced, stir in some cinnamon, ginger and allspice – and let cool.
This recipe makes a good-sized batch of peach butter which can be canned in smaller jars. Then all year long, you can enjoy this peach butter over ice cream, spread on buttered toast, spooned over pork chops – or eaten straight out of the jar!

Peach Butter
Peach Butter is simple to make, perfect for canning, and a delicious way to enjoy summer peach flavor all year long!
Ingredients
- 20–24 peaches (depending on the size) – enough to give you 8 cups of peach puree
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- Peel and pit the peaches, then puree in a food processor. You’ll want a total of 8 cups (2 quarts) of peach puree.
- Pour puree into a large, heavy bottomed pot and add sugar. Over medium heat, bring peach mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and scorching. Boil until the mixture is thickened and reduced by about one third (again, stirring to prevent sticking and scorching) – for us this took about 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the thickened puree from the heat and stir in the spices, mixing evenly.
- If canning, pour into clean, sterilized canning jars and process for 10 minutes using the water bath canning method.
- Any un-canned peach butter should be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Very good
Thanks Bonnie!
I made a single batch of this recipe two days ago, and it is incredible! My husband bought a bunch of peaches from our local orchard, and I had enough to make a double batch today. I opted to do plain, not spiced. Can’t wait to give some of this away to family!
Glad you are enjoying the peach butter Michele!
Made the recipe & was happy with the results. Although, I would have liked to have more tartness from the peaches come through. I think I will try this recipe again with a little less sugar. Also, I skimmed the foam off of my peach mixture as they were boiling. The recipe did not say to do this but I have done that with other recipes while canning. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Turned out great and tasted yummy yummy!
Thanks Donna!
Made it and love it, easy recipe. You can freeze in mason jars, just leave plenty of room at top for expansion.
Thanks Pam!
I made this, it was delicious!!!
Thanks Jeff!
I have put off making this for years. Now I am making my 2nd batch in 3 days! This is heavenly.
Thanks Tammy!
Extremely satisfied with this recipe. I made it twice
Thanks Nita!
Delicious and pretty easy to make. Even my non peach lovers in the family gave it a pretty good, and the ones who like peaches can’t wait to spread it on toast. I had about 8 cups plus a little of overripe peaches and it worked perfectly.
Thanks Janet – glad you enjoyed the recipe!
How long do they keep canned?
Hi Taylor – Assuming you’ve followed proper canning procedures, you can safely keep the jars up to a year.
