Pear butter is such a delicious spread for baked goods like biscuits, toast, pancakes, and our favorite: waffles!
You might be thinking: what the heck is pear butter? Think jam, but with much less sugar, smoother in texture, and no gelatin-like consistency. The great thing about making it yourself is you can choose how smooth or chunky you would like it to be. We like to blend until it is mostly smooth for easier spreading.
How to Make Pear Butter
Simply cook pears down with a little brown sugar, lemon juice, and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, then blend using a standard blender, immersion blender, or your food processor. Pour into jars and store in the fridge for up to a week. We recommend our Green D’Anjou Pears. These pears are sweet but with plenty of fresh citrus flavor that makes for a delicious, bright-tasting spread.
