Peach Necatrine Butter
Oh, Hey… 
What’s up?
Long time no blog.
Can we chat for a second?
I just wanted you to know it is nothing personal. I don’t hate you, or dislike you even. In fact, I care for you very much.
It just, well…
Things get in the way sometimes.
Sometimes there’s this thing called life, that acts like a tornado and rips through your life and tosses around all your belongings, even that lamp you love that your soon to be hubby hates.
It’s kinda crazy. And little annoying.
Scratch that, SUPER annoying.
My life has been a jumbled mess of decisions, wedding planning, renovations, work and just life.
Napkins, dresses, tiles, grass, grout, hair pieces, make up, money, stress, long hours, yellows, grays, messes, wood, traveling, running, shoes, jewelry, glasses, tablecloths, whites, paint, love, food, lifting, something blue, robes, designs, balloons, oh.my.gosh…….
It.never.ends.
The tornado is in full force.
Rip roaring through my life tossing me from one end of the funnel to the next. I am trying to make heads or tails of it an frankly…I don’t know if I am doing a very good job.
But, I keep picking myself up and going back.
Knowing the storm waits for me every day, every hour, every minute.
I keep coming back to try and make it through the days, hours, minutes as gracefully as I can.
So, I apologize we haven’t blogged for a while.
It’s just this crazy thing called life, is totally getting in the way.
Perhaps, this Peach Nectarine Butter will mend this time we have spent apart.
It was made with love <3
I promise.
- 5 peaches
- 2 Necatrines
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon fresh Lemon Juice
- Lemon Zest (as desired)
- 1 teaspoon All Spice
- 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
- Remove skins and cut up peaches and nectarines. They don’t need to be pretty, just smaller than whole fruit shape. Place into a crockpot that has been prepared with cooking spray.
- Add in all other ingredients and cool on low heat for 8 hours.
- When everything has cooked down, use and immersion blender to smooth out the fruit that has been cooked until a very smooth texture. It is okay if there is some liquid that the fruit has prior to you using the blender. Will only add to the flavor!

Don’t fret being busy, it’s not like you have been slacking. I’m sure prepping for a wedding is mighty time consuming. Haven’t forgot about ya, just still trying to get back on my schedule after a crazy busy summer myself. The nectarines and peaches ended early here because of the extreme heat, I’m bummed will have to wait till next year to try this.

This is the first time I have come across a fruit butter without using any sugar. LOVE it! I wonder if I can make pumpkin butter without sugar…

It happens to all of us–I took a four-month break earlier this year and it was probably the best thing I could have done. Your peach-nectarine butter looks wonderful and I bet it tastes even better!

I was thinking about you just the other day, knowing your nuptials are drawing near, and the craziness which builds as you aptly described. You’ll meet your special day with grace and style, Raven. Good choice to engage the crock pot to slowly simmer this lovely Peach Nectarine Butter!

This looks amazing, we are about to start stone fruit season so I will look forward to giving this a go. Perfect. Hope life slows down again for you.
