Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by washing and peeling about 5 pounds of ripe peaches. Remove the pits and chop the peaches into small pieces, yielding approximately 12 cups of chopped fruit.
- In a large crockpot, combine the chopped peaches with brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir the mixture well and set your crockpot to the low setting.
- Cover the crockpot and let the peach mixture cook on low for about 6 hours. Stir occasionally.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract after cooking, then use an immersion blender to blend the mixture to your desired consistency.
- Allow the peach butter to cool for about 30 minutes before transferring it into clean glass jars.

Notes
Choose ripe peaches for the best flavor. Always sterilize glass jars before canning. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
