Pear Butter
By: ~Rita~
Sep 4, 2003
This recipe I found in Ball recipe book Tweaked a lot.I used my vita mix so I didn't need to cook, peel or seed my pears.I just pureed them then cooked with rest of ingredients. If you need to you can peel, seed and cook to soften the pears then puree in food processor. I just like the idea of all the vitamins and fiber I get to have because of this method. The prep time is what it took me from start(fruit) to finish(butter). This can be used on bread, waffles,pour it on a layer of cream cheese for a cracker spread,serve with a pork roast or turkey. Try it straight out of the jar.

Ooo...this is very good. And so easy to make. I replaced the cinnamon with allspice. I've put most of it away for this winter, minus the few jars my granmother stole. :D The first thing we did when it was done was to have it hot over vanilla ice cream. The kids love it.

I cut this down to 1/4 as 10 lbs of pears would cost a fortune this time of year! This is excellent and I ended up with 2 Pint jars, enough for us and for a dear neighbor who is not feeling well. Thanks Rita!
