- 6 lb peaches
- 1 c maple syrup
- 1 c bourbon
- 1/2 c sugar
- 1/2 c vinegar
Maple Bourbon Peach Butter Directions
- Place the peaches, bourbon, maple syrup, sugar, and vinegar in a large Dutch oven or other wide, heavy pot, and heat over medium heat. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are very tender and losing their shape. Remove from heat, and use an immersion blender to purée into a smooth butter (or use a regular blender, being careful not to fill the pitcher more than halfway - you'll need to do this in batches - and hold a towel over the lid while the motor is running.)
- Continue to cook the peach butter over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the butter has reduced to desired thickness. Taste and add more maple syrup, sugar, and bourbon if needed.
- Set out 7 hot, sterilized, half-pint jars (see note) on a folded towel on a countertop. Ladle the peach butter into the jars, leaving 1/2-inch of head room. (Depending on how much you reduced the peach butter, you'll have between 6 and 7 half-pints.) Wipe the rims, and gently secure the lids and bands. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, starting the 10 minutes after the water returns to a boil. Transfer the jars to a folded towel on the counter and allow to cool at room temperature. After 1 hour, check the seals by removing the bands from the jars, then holding the jars by their lids. The lids should hold firm. If not, refrigerate that jar and eat promptly.
- Store sealed jars in a cool, dark cupboard.
