Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add pears, water, lemon juice, ginger and star anise into a large pot. Place star anise on top of pears, you will be fishing it out later. Bring to a boil and then simmer until the pears are soft and mushy. (The longer you cook the more flavor will be absorbed by the pears. You can simmer this from 40 mins to 4 hours).
- 2
Remove the star anise, swirl mixture to make sure all bits and seeds are removed.
- 3
While the pot is still hot add 1/2 cup of sugar for every 1 cup of mixture. I generally add 3 cups of sugar for a sweet jam. Stir to ensure the sugar has dissolved. Add the cardamom and nutmeg.
- 4
Let mixture rest until cool enough to process entire pot through a blender or food mill.
- 5
Pour pear mixture back into a large (wide is better) pot. Cook on medium heat until the mixture is thick, stir often. You can test the the texture of your jam by placing a small bit on a chilled spoon or plate and seeing if the mixture is runny.
- 6
Jar and can the mixture as per normal safe/sterile procedures. I usually end with 3-4 pints of mason jars or 6-8 10 oz jelly jars.

Apple Butter Apple Butter
I’m honestly late to the Apple Butter game. I didn’t know it existed until I ate it at a restaurant. I bought a jar to take home because I liked it so much. I decided to make my own rendition on this apple phenomenon using some unorthodox methods. This is an all day affair, so I recommend doing this on a day when you’re going to be staying home. The good news is, you don’t have to hover over the stove, it almost makes itself.

Apple peach butter Apple peach butter
This is kinda a dudeley recipe. I say this because it requires very little finesse, and it's kinda impressive. Together, these characteristics accomplish 2/3 of the trifecta of culinary dudeliness. The 3rd point of the trifecta is 'fire' in case you were curious. Also, a great way to use up old apples or stone fruit.

Whipped Butter Whipped Butter
My friend shared me this recipe. Try this butter with pancakes or French toast as it has such a smooth and light texture that goes great with maple syrup or jam.I suggest using a large deep bowl when mixing the butter. Otherwise, it splatters when you add the milk.In Step 3, this incorporates air and makes for a fluffy finish. Recipe by Hoink

Peanut Butter and Raspberry Sandwich Peanut Butter and Raspberry Sandwich
Thank you for making this recipe popular! This is my favorite sandwich with peanut butter and raspberry jam. It's delicious when made with homemade peanut butter.The story behind this recipe:I made homemade peanut butter and jam from frozen raspberries, so I created a nostalgic peanut butter and jelly sandwich (style) with freshly baked bread.

Peanut Butter Hummus Peanut Butter Hummus
Hummus most often contains tahini, sesame seed paste, but it can be hard to find. I read somewhere about Nigella Lawson making hummus with peanut butter in place of the tahini, so I thought I'd try it. I didn't have lemon juice, so I used plain yogurt for the acid and I like it.

Mulberry Jam Mulberry Jam
I came up with this recipe after 9 years of experimentation. I wonder if the mulberry tree in the courtyard of my alma mater is still bearing fruit.Since snipping off the stems does not remove the part that is inside the berry, I've discovered this method. Since the berries are separated from the stem, there's no need for a blender or food processor. Recipe by Iguanano egao -
Peanut Butter & Banana Toast Peanut Butter & Banana Toast
This is a combination of two of my favorites: peanut butter, which I have eaten for years, and banana.This is high in calories, so enjoy as an occasional treat!Try it with chunky peanut butter. The sweetness of banana and the saltiness of peanut butter go really well together. The chunky kind gives a great texture. Add cinnamon powder or cinammon sugar to your liking. Recipe by s0u4 -
Pear Custard Pies Pear Custard Pies
I was inspired by a fruit tart, but neither my husband nor I like cookie tart crust, so I decided to make pies because we like them.Custard Cream: You can cover with cling film as usual if you add the whipped cream.Pear Compote: You can make apple compote with the same cooking method. The cooking time varies depending on how you cut an apple. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.Baking Beans: I use azuki beans or rice and reuse them repeatedly instead of using baking beans. For 8 small pies. Recipe by yuyuxyuyu
