Instructions

For Pear Butter:

  1. Add all ingredients to a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low.
  2. Place a lid over the top, leaving a crack for steam to escape, and simmer for about 45 minutes, until it has reduced slightly and thickened. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally so it doesn’t burn.
  3. Remove from heat and transfer to a food processor or blender.
  4. Pulse until it’s as smooth as you wish (it can be completely smooth or you can leave it chunky).
  5. Transfer to jars or other containers, seal, and refrigerate until ready to use. Keep for up to a week.
  6. Note: Pear butter can be frozen for up to a year.

For Waffles:

  1. Preheat waffle iron.
  2. Whisk eggs until homogeneous. Whisk in flour, milk, oil, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla, just until smooth.
  3. Spray preheated waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour mix onto hot waffle iron.
  4. Cook according to manufacturer instructions. Repeat with remaining batter.
  5. Top with Stemilt D’Anjou Pear Butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
