Ingredients:





          -Dottie Cross TMPJ72B


     4 lb Ripe peaches;


          Pitted and quartered


          -(about 3-1/2 quarts)


     2 c  Water


     2 c  Sugar


   1/4 c  Lemon juice


          -Grated zest of 2 lemons


     2 ts Ground cinnamon


   1/2 ts Ground cloves






 In a large saucepan, bring the peaches and water to a boil over a medium


 heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until peaches are


 very tender. In a food processor fitted with the metal blade or a blender,


 process the fruit mixture in batches until smooth. Return the puree to the


 saucepan and stir in the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, cinnamon, and


 cloves. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the


 heat to low and simmer, stirring often, until thickened and reduced to


 about 6 cups, about 30 minutes. Ladle the peach butter into hot, sterilized


 jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headroom. Wipe the rims clean and put the lids on


 the jars. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove the jars


 from the water and cool completely at room temperature. Makes about 3


 pints. Source: "An Edible Christmas" (A Treasury of Recipes for the
