Classic Spiced Pear Butter
Kick off your autumn mornings with this simple, slow-cooked spread that transforms basic pears into something special. It’s a cozy staple that fills your kitchen with warm spice aromas while it simmers. You’ll end up with a versatile, sweet-tart condiment perfect for toast, oatmeal, or cheese boards.
Serving: 3 cups | Pre Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 90 minutes
Ingredients
– Pears – 4 lbs
– Granulated sugar – 1 cup
– Lemon juice – 2 tbsp
– Ground cinnamon – 1 tsp
– Ground nutmeg – ½ tsp
– Ground cloves – ¼ tsp
Instructions
1. Wash, peel, and core the pears, then dice them into ½-inch pieces.
2. Place the diced pears in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven.
3. Add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves to the pot.
4. Stir all ingredients together until the pears are evenly coated.
5. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely and the pears begin to release their juices, about 10 minutes.
6. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
7. Simmer the mixture, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking, until the pears are very soft and easily mashed, about 1 hour. Tip: For a smoother texture, use a potato masher partway through to break down larger chunks.
8. Remove the lid and continue simmering uncovered, stirring more frequently as it thickens, until the mixture reduces by about one-third and holds its shape on a spoon without dripping, about 30 minutes. Tip: To test doneness, spoon a small amount onto a chilled plate; it should not run when tilted.
9. While the pear butter cooks, sterilize three 8-ounce canning jars and lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes, then let them air-dry on a clean towel.
10. Once the pear butter reaches the desired thickness, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
11. For an ultra-smooth consistency, use an immersion blender directly in the pot to puree the mixture until completely smooth. Tip: Alternatively, carefully transfer to a countertop blender in batches, but allow it to cool more first to avoid steam pressure.
12. Ladle the hot pear butter into the prepared jars, leaving ¼ inch of headspace at the top.
13. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth, place the lids on, and screw on the bands until fingertip-tight.
14. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal, then remove and let them cool completely on a towel overnight.
15. Check that all lids have sealed by pressing the center; it should not pop back. Store unsealed jars in the refrigerator and use within 3 weeks.
Firm yet spreadable, this butter boasts a deep caramel color and a balanced flavor where the natural pear sweetness shines through the warm spices. Enjoy it swirled into yogurt, as a glaze for roasted meats, or simply slathered on a fresh biscuit for a comforting treat.

10. Remove the vanilla bean pod from the mixture.
11. Continue cooking for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the butter thickens further and darkens slightly in color.

13. Remove the pot from heat and let the pear butter cool for 10 minutes.
14. Transfer the warm pear butter to clean, sterilized jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace at the top.
15. Seal the jars tightly and let them cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating. Tip: For longer storage, process the sealed jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
