Bryan is the king of buying fruit, putting it in the fridge and forgetting about it. When I found several peaches in the bottom of the fridge, with soft spots, I decided to make jam. I found a recipe for apple butter and decided, “Hey, I could do the same thing with peaches!” The best part of this recipe is it has no sugar, only five ingredients and is sweetened with honey. Yes, I am still on my honey recipe kick. I didn’t realize I could use it in so many dishes. Plus, the Peach Honey butter is good for people on special diets. I made sure it was gluten free, dairy free and had none of the top eight allergens.
Here’s what you need:
I made a small batch, but the recipe could easily be expanded. The peach honey butter freezes well and could be canned. Peel and slice the peaches. Cover them with low sugar pectin and the juice of your choice. (I used Ball brand that I found in the canning section.) Allow the peaches to sit ten minutes.
Place the peach mixture into a large saucepan and stir in the honey. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and then reduce heat to low. Allow to cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thickened. This should take about 30 minutes.
- 6 peaches, peeled and sliced (Remove pits)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 package low sugar pectin
- 1 cup juice of your choice (I used apple raspberry)
- Mix the peaches, pectin and juice together. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Add honey. Place the peach mixture into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, allow to cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until thickened. Can or freeze.
Allow the peach honey butter to cool. Pour into jars and can or pour into freezer containers and freeze.

My goodness, this looks very much delicious. Peach is always a favorite food at home & with the combination of honey this sounds very healthy indeed. Looks like an easy to prepare recipe which I would love to try.

That looks really yummy and I bet it would taste great on all sorts of things, even a warm roll.
This sounds like a great combinations of flavors. I would have never thought to use peaches.
This looks amazing. I have never tried anything like this before. I will have to try this on the weekend.
I had no idea that you could flavor butter in such a way. I’m sure it tastes so delicious on bread and muffins.
Oh wow, I love jams and that looks delicious. I’m going to try this!
I love honey butter! I bet it would taste great with peach!
I guess this recipe would be good for any fruit in season. Thanks for sharing. It would help save a lot by making jam instead of throwing fruit out.
I have a ton of peaches that I’ve been trying to use up around here – this looks great! I’m gonna try it!
That sounds so good. I want to make this!
I bet Bella would love the peach honey butter on her toast in the mornings.
I love fruit butters! I haven’t tried peach yet, but must soon! I bet it is delish on biscuits and scones!
Yum. I’m not a huge jam fan but this looks really good. Would be a nice addition to breakfast toast!
This looks so yummy and I bet it would taste wonderful on a nice warm bread that is toasted. YUM
