PEAR BUTTER

This is what happens when my FIL tells me he has pears that need to be picked. I make pear butter!

What is pear butter you ask?

Apple butter without the Apples! LOL

Taste just like homemade Apple butter

 

You can make this recipe and can it to put into the pantry or put in jars and freeze.

I doubled the recipe and put in canning jars in a water bath

• 5 1/2 pounds peeled pears
• 1-1/2 cups gentle sweet
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves *Optional my family does not like cloves so I do not add them

DIRECTIONS

1. Place pears in slow cooker layering sugar between each layer.
2. Add rest of ingredients on top and pack them down as well as you can.
3. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour.
4. Reduce heat to low. Open and give it a stir. Keep covered and cook 8 hours or until thick and dark brown, stirring occasionally. (You can do this overnight and can in the morning).
5. Uncover and cook for the last hour on low.
6. If a smoother apple butter is desired, you may puree in blender or food mill.
7. Place in sterile jars with lids and process for 10 minutes in hot water bath or you can freeze.
