Author: Tricia

Ingredients

• 4 ripe pears, cored and diced (no need to peel)
  


• 2 apples peeled, cored and diced
  


• 1 1/2 cups apple cider
  


• 1/2 cup maple syrup
  


• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  


• 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  


• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  


• pinch of salt
  


• juice of 1/2 lemon
  


• 1 teaspoon vanilla
  

Instructions

1. Add all the ingredients to a high speed blender and process until somewhat smooth.




2. Pour the puree into a heavy bottom saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. As the fruit butter cooks, skim off any foam that accumulates on top during the first 30 minutes or so.




3. Continue to simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.




4. (Optional) After an hour of cooking remove the pan from the heat and carefully process using an immersion or stick blender until smooth. Return to the stovetop and continue cooking until thick with most of the liquid evaporated.



5. Carefully pour the apple butter to a heat-safe container and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate.

Recipe Notes

The Maple Pear Apple Butter will keep for up to a month.

Ripe but firm Bosc or Bartlett pears are good for this recipe.

Gala or another good cooking apple will work well for this recipe.
