Print Recipe

A quick and easy peach butter recipe made in the Instant Pot, delivering a creamy, silky, and perfectly spreadable fruit spread with minimal hands-on time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup water (120 ml)

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop peaches: Score an X on the bottom of peaches, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then dunk in ice water to remove skins easily. Chop into roughly 1-inch pieces (about 15 minutes).
  2. Place chopped peaches into the Instant Pot. Add sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and water. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Seal the lid and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Allow a few minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure before the timer starts.
  4. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully switch to quick release to vent any remaining pressure.
  5. Use an immersion blender to puree the peach mixture in the pot until creamy and spreadable. Blend less if a chunkier texture is preferred.
  6. If the peach butter is too thin, set the Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ and cook for another 5–10 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened to desired consistency.
  7. Let the peach butter cool slightly before transferring to clean jars. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

If peaches are very juicy, reduce water to 1/4 cup to avoid watery butter. Stir frequently during sauté phase to prevent burning. For chunkier texture, blend less or mash by hand after cooking. Frozen peaches can be used but thaw and drain excess liquid first. Variations include adding cloves or nutmeg, swapping sugar for honey or sugar substitutes, or mixing with other fruits like plums or nectarines.
