The Lovell Table

As the end of the summer season looms over us so does the end of summer produce. I love using up fruit in recipes that give them new life and make them last a bit longer than their season.

See my Honey Blueberry Jam and Bourbon Apple Butter recipes.

As we say farewell to peaches I invite you to make my Bourbon Peach Butter- delicious on toasted bread or on a bagel with cream cheese, a fun addition to an Old Fashioned (use in place of simple syrup), and the key ingredient in my Cinnamon Sugar Peach Butter Cookies.

Ingredients

• 5 peaches (peeled and cubed)
• 3 cups light brown sugar
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup bourbon
• 1/2 cup water

Method

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a slow cooker
2. Cook on low for 8 hours
3. Uncover and cook for 1 hour longer
4. Remove the cinnamon sticks
5. Blend until smooth
6. Let cool and then transfer to an air tight container to store in the fridge
