This easy spiced peach butter recipe transforms fresh peaches into a cozy, flavorful spread with warm cinnamon and cloves. Perfect for small batches, it’s quick to make and ideal for breakfast or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled and chopped (about 6 to 7 medium peaches)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (dark or light)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches by washing, peeling, and chopping about 6 to 7 medium peaches to make roughly 4 cups of fruit. To peel easily, score an “X” on the bottom of each peach, dunk in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water. The skins should slip right off. Chop into 1-inch pieces. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
  2. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, brown sugar, water, lemon juice, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Stir gently to distribute sugar and spices evenly.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until peaches soften and mixture thickens, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. Check the texture. For chunkier butter, leave as is. For smoother consistency, blend with an immersion blender or regular blender after cooling slightly to avoid splatters.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract if using, then cook for another 5 minutes on low heat to deepen flavor.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to clean glass jars or airtight containers, seal tightly, and refrigerate. The butter will thicken further as it cools. (Cooling time: about 1 hour)

Notes

Simmer gently over low heat to avoid burning. Stir occasionally but not too often to allow thickening. Peeling peaches ensures smooth texture. Use fresh lemon juice for brightness. Let peach butter cool completely before sealing jars to prevent spoilage. Adjust sweetness at the end if needed. For smoother texture, blend after cooking.
