Description

Pear Butter is a delicious spread made from fresh pears, apples, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It’s incredibly simple to make in the Crock Pot, and the end result is a thick, sweet spread that’s perfect for breakfast toast or a snack. Canning pear butter is even easier, as the cooking process is already done. All you have to do is pour the pear butter into jars, seal them, and process them in boiling water for a few minutes. Once the jars are sealed, you can store them for up to a year. The pear butter will keep for up to six months in the refrigerator.

Prep Time

Preparing the pear butter for canning only takes about 10 minutes. You’ll need to wash, peel, and core your pears. You’ll also need to measure out the other ingredients and get everything ready to go. Once everything is prepped, you’re ready to cook.

Cook Time

Cooking the pear butter in the Crock Pot takes about 4 hours. You’ll need to check it periodically to make sure it’s not burning. You’ll also need to stir it occasionally to make sure it’s not sticking to the sides of the pot. Once the pear butter is finished cooking, you’ll need to let it cool before you can start canning.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs of pears – washed, peeled, cored and cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 cup of apple cider
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Add the pears, sugar, apple cider, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the Crock Pot.
  2. Mix everything together until it is well combined.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
  4. Once the pear butter is thick and spreadable, remove from heat and let cool.
  5. Once cooled, ladle the pear butter into clean, sterilized canning jars.
  6. Seal the jars with canning lids and rings.
  7. Place the sealed jars in a large pot of boiling water and process for 10 minutes.
  8. Remove the jars from the pot and let cool completely.
  9. Once the jars are cool, check the seals and store in a cool, dark place for up to one year.

Equipment

  • Crock Pot
  • Canning jars and lids
  • Large pot for boiling
  • Canning tongs
  • Ladle

Notes

Make sure to use pears that are ripe but not over ripe, as they will be too soft to hold their shape in the Crock Pot. When you’re ready to can the pear butter, make sure to use clean, sterilized jars and lids. This will help to ensure that your pear butter is safe to eat.

Recipe Tips

If you’re looking to make pear butter ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to six months. You can also freeze it for up to one year. When you’re ready to use it, just thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and then heat it on the stovetop or in the microwave.

For a different flavor, try adding a few tablespoons of honey or brown sugar. You can also add a pinch of ground cloves or allspice for a bit of extra flavor. Finally, if you like your pear butter chunky, you can add a few tablespoons of diced apples or pears to the mix before cooking.
