Instructions

1. Place the sliced peaches in a large pot or slow cooker.

2. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the peaches.

3. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

4. Cook on low heat for 6–8 hours, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are very soft and the mixture thickens.

5. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth, or transfer in batches to a blender.

6. Continue cooking uncovered for 30–60 more minutes if needed to reach desired thickness.

7. Let cool slightly, then transfer to clean jars or containers.

8. Refrigerate or process in a water bath canner for shelf-stable storage.

Notes

For deeper flavor, let the peach butter cook slowly over several hours.

Peach butter can be frozen for long-term storage if not canning.

Use ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor.
