Pear Butter
Ingredients:
pears, raw
sugars, granulated
orange juice, raw
spices, nutmeg, ground
orange juice, raw
Directions:
Place pears into a large pot over medium heat, and add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pot and keep them from sticking, about 1/2 cup.
Cook until the pears are soft, about 30 minutes.
Press pears through a sieve or food mill, and measure out 2 quarts of the pulp.
Pour the pear pulp and sugar into a large saucepan and stir to dissolve sugar.
Stir in the orange zest, nutmeg and orange juice.
Cook over medium heat until the mixture is thick enough to mound in a spoon.
When the mixture begins to thicken, stir frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom.
This will take about 1 hour.
Ladle the pear butter into hot sterile jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace.
Remove air bubbles by sliding a metal spatula around where the pear butter touches the glass.
Wipe jar rims clean, and seal with lids and rings.
Process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.
The water should cover the jars by 1 inch.
Check with your local extension for exact processing times for your area.
