    Source of Recipe

    Recipe Introduction


    original recipe from Dolly Collins

    List of Ingredients




    12 cups sliced peeled pitted peaches, nectarines, plums or apricots (or combination)
    4 cups water
    3 tbl lemon juice
    1/4 cup honey or sugar to taste

    Recipe



    Oh man ..... the oven roasting gives this the taste of peach cobbler and it is sooooooo good on a cold winter morning.

    To peel peaches easily, drop in boiling water for 30 seconds, then drop in ice water. Peels should pull off.

    Combine sliced peaches and water in an 8-quart enamel or stainless steel pot and cook over medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the peaches are soft. Stir frequently to prevent the peaches from sticking. When the fruit is tender, add the honey or sugar and lemon juice and stir to combine. Put the peach mixture through a food mill
    or puree in a blender or food processor.

    Divide the puree between two shallow, 9- by 13-inch baking or roasting pans. Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour at 325 degrees. Continue baking, stirring every 15 to 20 minutes, until the butter is thick. This will take an additional 1 to 1 1/2 hours. The peach butter will be thick,
    fine-textured and a rich, reddish-amber in color.

    Wash jars and lids in hot, soapy water; sterilize jars in
    boiling-water bath for 10 minutes. Prepare lids according to manufacturer's directions. Ladle hot peach butter into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Cover with lids and process in a boiling-water bath for 5 minutes.

    This recipe yields 3 half-pint jars.
