Peach Butter Recipe #96986
This is the recipe that I've been using for years and years. I love peach butter because the flavor is so light and yummy. I buy the seconds at the orchard because I don't care what they look like - they're going to be smushed anyways and they're cheaper. Save the pretty ones for canned peach halves.

4 pints

- 4 cups sugar
- 1-2 tablespoon ground cinnamon (optional)

- Put peaches in pot with water.
- Cook peaches over medium, simmer until peaches are soft, about 15- 20 minutes depending up on the ripeness of your fruit.
- Run the peaches through a food mill till all that is left in the mill are the peach skins which you can discard now.
- You should have about 2 quarts of peach pulp.
- Mix pulp with sugar and cinnamon.
- Cook over medium heat until thick enough to round up on a spoon about 30 minutes to an hour (this may also be done in a slow- 250 degree oven but it takes longer).
