Recipe type: Snacks
Serves: 1.5 cups
Ingredients
- 5 cups pears
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Peel, core, and chop pears. Blend in food processor or blender until mostly smooth.
- In a greased slow cooker, combine all ingredients and cook for 6 hours on high, propping the lid open with a wooden spoon to allow for evaporation. Stir every hour if possible.
- For extra velvety texture, blend again after cooking to whip some air into the pear butter.
Notes
The volume will reduce by a lot - I do not recommend halving this recipe, but it can easily be doubled.
This recipe cannot be canned. Refer to official canning recipes to ensure proper acidity for canning.
