Crockpot Peach Butter Recipe
One of my favorite things to do with summer produce is to freeze it so when it is gray, snowy, and ugly outside I can pull them out and take a moment to think about summer. Dream about warm summer nights outside with a fire.
Don't worry we are still a few months away hopefully from the weather changing to snow! I am just putting it out there to the world that it will be a really lovely winter with no crazy snowstorms for everyone. I hope you don't mind! 🙂
Oh my gosh, I feel like running to the fridge and taking a spoonful of this right now! Hello yum!
I am starting to wonder what this would be like on vanilla ice cream.....
Ingredients needed to make Peach Butter in the Crock-Pot
- Ripe Peaches
- Honey
- Ginger, powder
- Lemon juice
- Water
Recipe Tips
Spider Strainer - A spider strainer makes it really easy to get the peaches safely out of the hot water.
Cookie Sheet with edges - A cookie sheet with edges helps catch all of the extra peach juice when you are removing the peach skins. I put a cutting board across the cookie sheet and use it to hold the peaches as I remove the skins and cut them before putting the in the crockpot.
Depending on how ripe your peaches are it can be a super messy process to remove the skins and contain all of the juices. I definitely recommend having a few dish towels nearby and a garbage can or bowl for the peach skins next to you.

Crock Pot Peach Butter Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 lbs Peaches Ripe
- ¼ Cups Honey
- 2 Tablespoon Ginger powder
- 2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- ½ Cup Water
Instructions
- Heat a large pot of water to boiling. Have a large bowl with ice water beside it.
- Using a ladle slowly lower a few peaches into the boiling water (gently).
- Let boil/blanch for approximately 1 – 2 minutes.
- Remove peaches and immediately immerse into the ice water and let them cool.
- Continue this until all the peaches are cooling in the water.
- Take peaches from the ice water and begin to remove the skins. They should just slide off easily. If not, the peaches were not ripe enough and a knife may be needed to peel off the skins.
- Cut the peaches from the inside stone. No need to have perfect slices, just get off as much flesh from the pit as possible.
- Transfer all the peaches to the slow cooker bowl. Add the honey, ginger, water, and lemon juice.
- Cook peaches on high for 10 – 12 hours.
- When the peaches are soft and mushy, puree them with an immersion blender, or simply mash them very well with a potato masher.
- Continue to cook them until you have an applesauce consistency. If you find there’s too much liquid, leave the lid off for approximately ½ hour while it cooks to let some of it evaporate.
- Remove from slow cooker and let cool.
