This cinnamon honey peach butter recipe is the perfect way to use up all those peaches that are starting to go bad!
Sadly, peach season won’t be with us much longer, and I find myself buying way too many peaches each time I go to the store! I end up having at least 5 or 6 peaches that aren’t really good enough to eat by the end of the week. This recipe is the perfect way to use all those peaches without having to throw them away!
Cinnamon honey peach butter sounds decadent, but it is actually light, fresh and healthy. Check out the easy recipe below 🙂
And stay tuned after the recipe for my other method to make this more of a jam!
Cinnamon Honey Peach Butter Recipe
- 2.5 cups fresh peaches, diced
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp coconut sugar
- 3 -4 tbsp raw honey***
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- Make sure the peaches are cut up into bit size pieces. You can leave the skin on, or take it off. We love it with the skin.
- In a medium saucepan, add the peaches, lemon juice, honey, coconut sugar, and cinnamon.
- Bring to a boil over medium high heat, and allow to cook for about 10 minutes while stirring constantly.
- Reduce to a simmer and cover. Stir it every 5-10 minutes.
- After about 20 minutes, it should be thickened up. Remove from the heat and add to a glass jar.
- Once it is cooled to room temperature, place it in the refrigerator. It will continue to thicken up.
- Serve cold or warm up it.
- ***Depending on the sweetness of the peaches, you may need 3 or up to 4 tbsp of honey. Taste it before adding the 4th tbsp.
Chemist Tip
I call this a peach butter since it isn’t very thick and easily spreadable. This butter is perfect for spreading on toast, muffins, adding to oatmeal, or even with yogurt.
The lemon juice along with the sugars acts like a binding agent, giving this butter thickness. If you want more of a jam, reduce the amount of peaches and increase the lemon juice to about 3 tsp. Then, make sure to simmer it for much longer. Following those steps, you can put it in the fridge and it will actually thicken up more and turn into a jam consistency!
It is very hard to mess up this recipe! No matter what you do, it will taste delicious and is so great to keep in the refrigerator for things. My husband has been adding it to toast every morning and he loves it! I enjoy it on oatmeal, so good!
Another awesome peach recipe is this roasted peach ice cream (dairy-free)!

I think I need to go out to the grocery store right now to buy peaches and make this! It looks so yummy!
It really is so delicious!!! The peaches taste so wonderful with the honey and cinnamon 🙂
I probably missed this somewhere , but how long does it keep in the refrigerator?
It lasts several weeks to a month for me in the fridge. I usually toss it once it looses thickness
Sounds yummy! Can’t wait til you bring me some, ha. Love mom
You will love it! I will bring you some tomorrow 🙂 🙂
Not something I have heard of before sounds interesting
It is really delicious!
Happy Labor Day Alexis! Both versions of this spread sound delicious. Can you use either yellow or white flesh peaches? I have stevia and regular sugar – can I sub that for the coconut sugar? Love your mom’s comment!
You can definitely use any peaches for this! It will taste delicious. You can sub regular sugar, but it won’t be quite as rich. You could sub brown sugar to, it will make it very similar. Stevia won’t work as well for this. Haha, my mom sent me a text about it too. She said, I REALLY need some of this 🙂
This sounds more than amazing! I always love the chance to combine cinnamon and peach! Yummo!
Oh me too! Such an awesome combination!
This sounds amazingly delicious!!

Alexis, I was drawn in by your weed killer post on hometalk. I came to check out your site, and I cannot wait to share it with my “boyfriend’s ” father. TatuÅ› is 89 and like you, a chemist. He makes jams. Strawberry, and peach are his staples. He recently prepared mango jam. I will print this peach butter recipe for him. I will email the link, though I don’t think he does much surfing. Thanks for sharing. The weed killer will definitely be the first recipe I use.
That is so neat Bonni! I bet he makes the BEST jams! This is a definitely a quick jam, so not traditional like with pectin. But it is a nice way to make something when you don’t have time to make anything else! Hope you enjoy my weed killer recipe 🙂
Oh, Alexis! This looks so delicious. The weed killer too, what great post this week! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!

How long does this stay good in the refridgerator? I might have bought 25 lbs of peaches from The Peach Truck & I’m trying to figure out what to do with them all. lol Thank you!
Oops refrigerator* 🙂
It is best to use within about a week, but is usually okay for up to two weeks! Hope you enjoy it 🙂
Can I put this in hot sterile do jars for the winter?
I have not tried this before. I have put it in the freezer and it does well, but have not tried sealed jars. It might make the solution too runny, but it is worth a try!
