Pear Butter

I have a single pear tree that produces around 100 pounds of pears, If you also have a ton of pears or just want to make a very tasty dessert jam this is for you! This recipe can be quickened but the longer you cook on low heat the more savory the flavors will be
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.
