Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large (about 2.5 pounds) fresh peaches
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
Instructions
Peel and pit the peaches. Cut them into small chunks and place them in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and darkens in color. The peaches should break down into a smooth consistency as they cook. Use a potato masher or an immersion blender if necessary to achieve the desired texture.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the amaretto liqueur. Taste and adjust sweetness or spices if needed.
Let the Peach Amaretto Butter cool for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to sterilized jars if storing long-term or an airtight container if using within a few weeks.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process the jars in a water bath for canning to preserve for longer periods.
