With only a handful of simple ingredients and an hour of simmering, this small-batch recipe yields a spread bursting with natural sweetness and irresistible tang. Store it in jars for up to three weeks, or freeze for a taste of summer all year long. Whether dolloped onto pancakes, spread on biscuits, or swirled into yogurt, Raspberry Peach Butter is a versatile treat that's as beautiful as it is delicious.
Step 1: Prepare the peaches by peeling, pitting, and dicing them into small chunks. Measure 4 cups of diced peaches.
Step 2: In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the diced peaches and raspberries.
Step 3: Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the pan. Stir to combine and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the fruit to release its juices.
Step 4: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until the fruit begins to break down and soften, about 15–20 minutes.
Step 5: Use an immersion blender to puree the fruit mixture until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the mixture to a countertop blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the saucepan.
Step 6: Reduce the heat to low and cook the fruit puree, stirring often to prevent sticking, until it thickens to a spreadable, buttery consistency. This will take about 60–75 minutes. The mixture should mound up on a spoon without running off easily.
Step 7: Once thickened, stir in the vanilla extract. Taste the butter and adjust sweetness or acidity if needed by adding more sugar or a splash of lemon juice.
Step 8: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the raspberry peach butter cool slightly.
Step 9: Transfer the butter into sterilized jars for storage. Seal tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
Step 10: Serve your Raspberry Peach Butter on toast, pancakes, biscuits, or as a versatile topping for desserts.
