Print Recipe

This easy slow cooker peach butter with cinnamon is made with simple ingredients and no peeling required. It’s perfect for gifting, spreading on toast, or enjoying straight off a spoon.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pounds peaches (about 8–10 medium), ripe but not mushy
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • ½ cup light brown sugar, packed (100g)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (preferably Saigon cinnamon)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed (30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Wash the peaches. Cut each peach in half around the pit, twist to separate, and remove the pit. Cut each half into quarters. Do not peel them. Place the peach quarters directly into the slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon over the peaches. Add the lemon juice and the pinch of salt. If using vanilla extract, add it now. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated.
  3. Put the lid on the slow cooker and set it to low. Cook undisturbed for 6 to 8 hours. About halfway through, give it a gentle stir.
  4. Once the peaches are very soft and the mixture has reduced slightly, use an immersion blender directly in the slow cooker and blend until completely smooth. If using a regular blender, let the mixture cool for 15-20 minutes first, then blend in batches.
  5. Remove the lid and turn the slow cooker to high. Cook uncovered for 2 to 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a consistency similar to apple butter.
  6. Test for doneness: Spoon a small amount onto a chilled plate and let it sit for 30 seconds. Run your finger through it—if the line holds and doesn’t fill back in with liquid, it’s ready.
  7. While the butter is still hot, carefully ladle it into sterilized jars, leaving about ½ inch of headspace. Wipe the rims clean, screw on the lids, and let cool completely on the counter before storing.

Notes

Don’t skip the uncovered cooking time—it’s essential for thickening. Watch for scorching as the mixture thickens; stir frequently. Adjust sweetness to taste based on peach ripeness. Use a splatter guard during uncovered cooking to avoid mess. The butter will thicken further as it cools.
