Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and chopped)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Prepare the peaches by peeling, pitting, and chopping them into small chunks. Measure out 4 cups of chopped peaches.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
3. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches break down and become soft. This should take about 20–25 minutes.
4. Once the peaches are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth before returning it to the saucepan.
5. Continue cooking the pureed peach mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, for an additional 5–10 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
6. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
7. Gradually add the softened butter to the peach mixture, stirring constantly until the butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
8. Transfer the Peach Honey Butter to a clean jar or airtight container. Allow it to cool to room temperature before sealing and storing in the refrigerator.
9. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy on toast, biscuits, pancakes, or your favorite baked goods!
