Print Recipe

A warm, cozy Southern-style peach butter infused with cinnamon and real vanilla, perfect for spreading on toast or biscuits. This easy homemade spread combines slow-simmered peaches with a touch of sweetness and spice for a comforting treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water to slip off skins. Pit and chop into roughly ½-inch pieces.
  2. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine chopped peaches, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
  3. Place the pan over medium-low heat and simmer gently for 30-35 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. The mixture will bubble and thicken as the peaches break down.
  4. Check for thickness and consistency; the peach butter is ready when thickened, glossy, and coats the back of a spoon. For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture in the pot.
  5. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the softened butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  6. Let the peach butter cool slightly before spooning into clean glass jars. Seal tightly and refrigerate.

Notes

Stir frequently during simmering to prevent burning and ensure smooth texture. Use pure vanilla extract for best flavor. If peach butter is too runny, simmer longer; if too thick, add a splash of water. For dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained well.
