Ingredients

• 6 medium (about 2.5 pounds) Ripe pears
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.5 cups Water
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel, core, and chop the pears into small chunks.

Step 2

In a large pot, combine the chopped pears, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and water.

Step 3

Set the pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are soft and easily mashed.

Step 4

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a countertop blender, puree, and return it to the pot.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and cook the pear puree uncovered for another 60-80 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning. The mixture will thicken as it cooks and reduce to a butter-like consistency.

Step 6

Once thickened, stir in the vanilla extract and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the pear butter from the heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars or airtight containers.

Step 8

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
