<RecipeText>
Peel, pit and coarsely mash peaches to measure 4 cups.  Combine peaches, pectin and lemon juice  in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly.  Stir in butter, cinnamon, sugar and allspice; return to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute.  Remove from heat; skim off foam. (the butter helps reduce foam)
Quickly ladle hot mixture into hot sterilized jars, filling to 1/4 inch from top.  Remove air bubbles; wipe jar rims.  Cover at once with metal lids, and screw on bands.  Process in boiling-water bath  5 minutes.  Yield: 6 half pints.
