Over many years of canning any and every fruit I could come by, I've learned a few rules about what works and what doesn't. One rule that took me years to understand: mealy peaches, white peaches, donut peaches, basically any peach that is not perfectly ripe and juicy will be abominable when canned. Because I haven't often had a good peach source, I have generally avoided canning peaches at all, even throwing out some efforts that just didn't make the grade. So when I was offered some beautiful, perfectly ripe, skin practically falling off (and thus not market perfect) yellow peaches by an eccentric seller at the Davis Farmer's Market, I hesitated for a moment. He caught my hesitation, and said, “Take 'em or leave 'em, but these are the best peaches.”

Of course, I accepted the challenge, and peach honey bourbon butter became the second batch of butter utilizing these incredible peaches.
