This turned out FANTASTIC!! We freeze our u-pick peaches whole (after washing and air drying) and decided to try this recipe for the remnants of our supply from a couple seasons ago (life interfered with our baking plans). I pureed afterwards, and hadn't added any water due to the nature of the frozen peaches I was using. My ratios of peaches to other ingredients was guesstimated due to not knowing how many pounds of peaches I was utilizing. I might try this with the addition of cinnamon next time.<br/><br/>We've been using the peach butter on toast, pancakes, biscuits, peanut butter sandwiches, in our oatmeal, etc. It is crockpot-licking good!
