Pear Butter Recipe

American · Condiment · 75 min total

A smooth, spiced spread made from ripe pears, perfect for toast, scones, or as a glaze for meats.

Ingredients

• 4 lbs ripe pears (about 8 medium), peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

1. Combine pears, sugars, and lemon juice in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Let sit for 15 minutes to draw out juices.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until pears are very soft and mixture has thickened, about 45-60 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
4. Blend with an immersion blender or in a regular blender (in batches) until smooth.
5. Return to pot and simmer for another 5 minutes if too thin. Cool completely.
6. Transfer to sterilized jars and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for longer storage.

Tips

• For a smoother butter, peel the pears before cooking.
• Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 6 months.
• Adjust sugar based on sweetness of pears.
