Nani's Peach Butter
5 LBS. any variety Peaches (I like the white ones)
2 Cups Apple juice
2 Cups water
1 Cup granulated sugar
1 TBS ginger
Pit peaches and cut into chunks leaving the skin on the peaches. Place in crock pot. Add next four ingredients and stir until combined. Slow cook on medium or low setting with he lid on for 6 to 8 hours, occasionally checking that the fluid level does not reduce too much. If it does, add equal amounts of apple juice and water 1/2 cup total at a time.
At six hours, check the mixture. When it is done, it will be dark and thick with the peach peels barely visible. If the mixture is still thin, continue to cook with the lid OFF.
When the mixture has thickened, turn the heat off and allow to cool.
When it has cooled, scoop two cups into a food processor and process until smooth. Repeat a couple cups at a time until all the peach butter has been pureed.
Can according to manufacturer's directions.
Makes 3 8-oz jars.
