The fresh juiciness of ripe peaches combined with the bright flavor of pineapple and subtle almondy amaretto undertones make this a perfectly peachy fruit butter. Add to overnight oats, top ice cream, or spread on biscuits. It's so delicious.

Equipment

  • blender
  • stovetop

Ingredients

  • 4 peaches skins removed and cut into pieces
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 Tablespoons Amaretto
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 Tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 8 ounces crushed pineapple in juice

Instructions

  • Peel the peaches and cut them into small pieces. Add them to a bowl.
    4 peaches
  • Add the lemon juice, amaretto, nutmeg, and sugar to the skinned and cut peaches. Stir together, cover, and refrigerate for about 4 hours until most of the sugar has melted and the peaches have just begun to soften.
  • Add the peach mixture to a blender along with the whole can of pineapple (undrained) and the cornstarch. Blend until well pureed.
  • Pour the puree into a saucepan and cook on med/high heat until it comes to a boil, stirring constantly. After it comes to a boil turn the heat down to the lowest setting and continue cooking for 1 hour. Stir occasionally so that the mixture doesn't clump or stick to the bottom.
  • Remove from heat and put into glass jars. This should keep for at least a week in your refrigerator.
