This easy-to-follow recipe combines pureed fresh peaches, sugar, and aromatic spices, slow-cooked in a crock pot to a perfect buttery consistency.
8 cups sliced fresh peaches
4 cups sugar
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice or apple pie spice
Place the peaches in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the peach puree to the crock pot. Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat for 4-5 hours. Remove the lid and cook for 4-5 more hours, uncovered, until thickened. Stir occasionally.
Store the peach butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

Way too much clove! Start with 1/2 teaspoon. It is incredibly overpowering!!!

I used canned peaches that I drained really well (the kind in light juice not syrup). It turned out very good. I think it might have been a little more runny because of the canned peaches so I cooked it an extra hour uncovered and I think that helped.

This is the first recipe that had the spices I wanted. I just wanted to make a small batch to try so I quartered the recipe. I love the spice combination. To me that is fruit butter.
