Ingredients
- 6 large (about 2.5 pounds) fresh peaches
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
Directions
Step 1
Peel and pit the peaches. Cut them into small chunks and place them in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Step 2
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and darkens in color. The peaches should break down into a smooth consistency as they cook. Use a potato masher or an immersion blender if necessary to achieve the desired texture.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the amaretto liqueur. Taste and adjust sweetness or spices if needed.
Step 6
Let the Peach Amaretto Butter cool for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to sterilized jars if storing long-term or an airtight container if using within a few weeks.
Step 7
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process the jars in a water bath for canning to preserve for longer periods.
