Ingredients You’ll Need
- 6 to 8 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions to Make Your Pear Butter
- Start by prepping those lovely pears. Peel, core, and chop ’em up into pieces. The riper, the better!
- In a large pot, combine the chopped pears, sugar, spices, lemon juice, and water. Give it all a good stir to mix it up.
- Cook this mixture over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pears soften and release their juices.
- Once the pears are soft, use an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender to puree the mixture until smooth. If you like a bit of texture, pulse it a few times.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered. You want that magic to happen, so let it cook down until it thickens. This usually takes about an hour or so. Keep stirring every now and then, so it doesn’t stick.
- When it’s reached your desired thickness, remove it from heat. Let it cool a bit before transferring to jars.
- Store your pear butter in the fridge. It can last for a few weeks. Trust me, it won’t last long once you start spreading it everywhere!
