Slow Cooker
Old Fashioned Peach Butter
Sweet, spiced peach butter slow-cooked to spreadable perfection. Made with fresh peaches, cinnamon, and sugar—great on toast, biscuits, or as a gift in jars.
Ingredients:
- 14 cups coarsely chopped peeled fresh or frozen peaches
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking tapioca
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine the peaches, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and cloves; mix well. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until peaches are very soft, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in tapioca. Cook, uncovered, on high for 1 hour or until thickened. Pour into jars or freezer containers; cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Refrigerate or freeze.
