Como fazer Spiced Pear Butter
- Combine 6 cups peeled, cored, and chopped pears and 1 cup apple juice in a large Dutch oven.
- Tie 1 cinnamon stick, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon allspice berries, and 5 whole cloves in a piece of cheesecloth. Secure tightly with kitchen twine.
- Add the spice bag to the pear mixture.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the pears are very tender and easily mashed.
- Remove the spice bag from the pot and discard.
- Mash the cooked pears using a potato masher or an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, carefully puree in a food processor until smooth.
- Return the pear puree to the Dutch oven and stir in 1 ½ cups granulated sugar.
- Cook over medium heat, uncovered, for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened considerably and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat. Ladle the hot pear butter into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth.
- Place lids and rings on jars, tightening fingertip-tight.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for details).
