Screen Shot 2015-02-10 at 5.58.39 PM

Just like my peach preserves, I wanted to try my hand at canning some delicious pears that grow at my husband’s family farm. The pears are tasty and plentiful, since no one but me seems to enjoy them, so I always get my pick! This past summer, I gave pear butter a go, and the results were delish!

You will need:
-Pears (washed, peeled, cored, and cut)
– Cinnamon, white and brown sugar, clove to taste

1. Start off by cooking your pears on the stove with enough water to cover them. You will want to cook them until tender.
2. Once tender, blend your pears with an immersion blender until you get an applesauce-like consistency.
3. Add in your sugars, cinnamon, and clove to taste.
4. Follow the canning steps that I laid out in my Peach Preserves post to save your pears!
