This creamy homemade peach butter with cinnamon is a warm, comforting spread perfect for cozy mornings. It features a silky texture and a subtle cinnamon kick, ideal for toast, oatmeal, or pancakes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups peeled and chopped fresh ripe peaches (about 6 large peaches, ~600 grams)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh-squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by peeling and chopping about 6 large ripe peaches to yield roughly 4 cups of fruit. To peel easily, blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to slip off skins. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
  2. Combine the chopped peaches, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir gently to combine. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
  3. Heat over medium heat, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 40 to 50 minutes until peaches break down and mixture thickens.
  4. Stir frequently toward the end to prevent sticking or burning. The mixture should reduce to a thick, spreadable consistency.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Use an immersion blender to puree until creamy and smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches in a regular blender, being careful with hot liquid.
  6. Taste and adjust flavor by adding more sugar or cinnamon if desired. Stir in vanilla extract if using.
  7. Transfer peach butter to clean glass jars or airtight containers. Let cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate. It will thicken further as it cools. (Cooling time: 1-2 hours)

Notes

Peeling peaches is recommended for a smoother texture but optional if you prefer a chunkier spread. Slow simmering is key to developing creamy texture and rich flavor. Stir frequently to prevent burning. If peach butter is too thin, simmer longer before blending; if too thick, add a splash of water or lemon juice. Store in sterilized jars in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat gently before serving.
