Peach-honey Butter

- Serves 6
The peaches were few this year due to a spring snow. I made a batch of peach butter with the few that made survived. I added honey to it this time and it turned out great.
Ingredients
- 8 cups peach pulp (need about 18 medium-sized peaches) shopping list
- 2 cups of honey shopping list
- 2 cups of sugar shopping list
How to make it
- Prepare the peach pulp:
- Wash, scald, peel, pit and chop the peaches.
- Place the peaches in an 8-quart stock pot or dutch oven, with just enough water to prevent them from sticking, about 1/2 to 1 cup of water.
- Put the lid on the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the peaches are soft.
- Press the cooked peaches through a sieve or food mill. Measure the pulp.
- Prepare the Peach Butter:
- Stir in the sugar and honey.
- Cook until the mixture thickens, about 30 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- When it's almost done, it will start to spit and sputter so be careful that none of the peach butter splashes out onto your skin.
- Remove the pot from the heat and pour into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch of head space.
- Adjust caps. Process pints and quarts for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath. Makes about 6 pints.
