This slow cooker peach butter is a great way to preserve and use ripe peaches. With minimal prep and slow cooking, it’s simple, spreadable and easy!

Pin ItIf you have a bunch of peaches laying around and can’t eat them all, you need to try making this homemade peach jam (an easy refrigerator jam), this peach fruit leather (with a jalapeno kick) and these grilled peaches (probably my favorite way to eat peaches in the summer).
Peach Butter Ingredients

How to Make Peach Butter
- Combine Ingredients. Place peach slices, sugar, lemon juice, and apple juice (or water) into the slow cooker and stir to combine.


- Cook and Blend. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, stirring occasionally. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth, then cook uncovered for 1–2 more hours until thickened.


- Finish and Store. Let it cool slightly, then transfer to a sterilized jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.

Storage and Freezing Instructions
To Store: Store the peach butter in a sterilized jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
To Freeze: Freeze the peach butter in ziplock freezer bags for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before using.

Peach Butter Uses
- As a spread: Any baked good you spread this on will taste heavenly. Anything like toast, biscuits, etc, will be perfect for this peach butter, my personal favorites are on blueberry bread or blueberry scones (peaches + blueberries are just so yummy together!).
- As a mixer: Mix into homemade or store-bought yogurt or ice cream.
- As a topper: Dollop on top of cookies, cakes or other baked desserts (like these white chocolate blueberry cookies).
