If you like the old fashion Apple Butter , you will love Pear Butter. I made this for christmas gifts and it has been a hit. I found a recipe then tweaked it a little.
Ingredients:
8 cups pears, peeled and coursely chopped
1 (12 ounce) can kerrs pear nectar
1 quart apple juice
1 cup lighly packed brown sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 star anise
Directions:
1. Combine the pears with apple juice and pear nectar in a large pot and cook for about an hour. Put the pears through a food mill or a large hole strainer,.
2. Put your smoothed pears with apple juice mixture and the remaining ingredients in a large crock pot. Cook for 2 to 3 hours, stir every 20 minutes and make sure that it doesn't scorch, until it reduces to a nice thick consistancy Can it or store in the refridgerator.
3. This is great spread on a english muffin.
