- Pinch of salt

- Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours, stirring once or twice if possible, until peaches are very tender and thick like jam.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the peach mixture until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, blend in batches in a regular blender, being cautious with hot mixture.

Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Peeling peaches is recommended for smooth texture. Stir once halfway through cooking to prevent sticking. When blending hot peaches, vent blender lid or use immersion blender to avoid splatters. Peach butter thickens as it cools; stir after cooling to check consistency. Can add nutmeg, ground ginger, or star anise for extra spice. For creaminess, stir in coconut or almond milk after blending if desired.
