Fresh Peach Butter

Fresh Peach Butter

Makes about 3 pints

12 cups (24 medium) peeled and chopped ripe fresh peaches
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups Splenda Granular

In a large saucepan, slightly mash peaches with a potato masher. Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes or until peaches are soft, stirring often. Spoon hot mixture into a blender container, cover and process on PUREE for 30 seconds or until smooth. Return pureed peaches to saucepan. Add lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to combine. Stir in Splenda. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Lower heat and simmer for 90 minutes or until mixture is very thick, stirring often. Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot sterilized pint jars, leaving a 1/2-inch headspace. Seal and process in a boiling-water canner for 15 minutes.
