One warning if you use a crock pot overnight. Cook until the pears are completely soft about 20 minutes. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Cover with hot sterilized lids and rings. I love making fruit butters in my crock pot.

I cook it overnight and wake up to a sweet smelling kitchen in the morning. Be sure your crock doesn t cook high enough to scorch the butters. To can your pear butter place the hot butter in hot sterilized jars leaving 1 4 inch of headspace. Pack pear butter into hot sterilized jars filling to within 1 4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles.

It really is one of the best ways to preserve an abundance of pears. Its taste is so good in toast or even on top of steak or chicken. We then attempted a lemon and vanilla bean pear butter followed by an orange and vanilla bean pear butter. In a large pot combine the pears water orange zest and juice. Puree mixture in the food processor just until a uniform texture is achieved but do not liquefy.
