This is a great recipe and easy to make. However, if you want a peach "sauce," simmering for 15 minutes is fine but, for real peach butter, it needs to simmer much longer to reduce the liquid. Of course, part of this depends on the amount of juice and ripeness of the peaches but simmering 15 minutes doesn’t do it for peach butter.
If wanting to make actual peach butter for canning…add some apples for the pectin to set consistency so it is not so runny and it will have to be cooked much longer than 15 minutes, being stirred regularly to keep from scorching. But you do need some sugar. Taste to decide how much.
if you are only planning on storing in the refrigerator for 3 weeks or less, do you put the lid on while it’s still hot so the jars will seal themselves?
No, you only need to boil the lids if processing them in a water bath. If the butter will be used within 3 weeks, a new, clean lid will work perfectly.
What about using coconut palm sugar instead or honey,with maybe Splenda.
If I want to water bath can and wish to cut back on the sugar could I use no sugar added pectin and take out the 1/2c sugar in the receipe to have a good consistency and not runny?
yeah I bought the blender to prepare fresh food for a diabetic. you can replace the sugar with stevia or a low glycemic sweetener like agave
How long do you process in the water bath for
Hi Laura, it may help keep the consistency thick but it probably won’t give the exact result as the above recipe. Try it and let us know!
Agave is basically high fructose corn syrup, look it up
How long do you process them in the water bath?
You can use Swerve instead of sugar.
Bring water bath to a boil and process for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn off heat and wait 5 minutes before removing jars from canner.
Splenda is soo not healthy, would rather have sugar
The only sweetener that is low glycemic is Pure Maple Syrup. In fact it will actually lower glycemic index. Agave actually highers the glycemic and is one of the worse sweetener’s there is. I LOVE the taste of it, but once I found that out I don’t use it any longer. I’m going to try one batch replacing the sugar with pure maple syrup. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Actually, I use Boresha Sweet. You can’t get it in stores though, it is direct sell, but it’s great! It’s diabetic friendly, low glycemic and tastes BETTER than sugar. No weird or different aftertaste like some of the sugar replacements. I can use it with no guilt. And only about 10 calories per teaspoon. They take the sweet component from the sugar without the part of the compound that elevates your blood sugar. I never used a lot of sugar anyway, but use it for baking, serving coffee…
For anyone concerned with sweetener, there is a new company called Zurvita who makes a wellness drink using only stevia as sweetener. For more information, go to www.liveitwell.zealforlife.com
Lots of sugar for an implement touted to be a healthy living device…green smoothies aren’t enough huh?
