How to Make Ginger Pear Butter

  1. Peel, core, and chop 2 pounds of ripe pears into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a slow cooker, combine the chopped pears, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup apple cider.
  3. Stir well to ensure the sugars are evenly distributed among the pears.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the pears are very soft.
  5. Remove the lid and stir in 2 tablespoons of finely grated fresh ginger and 1 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  6. Increase the slow cooker setting to high.
  7. Cook uncovered for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the pear butter has thickened to your desired consistency. (The longer it cooks, the thicker it will become).
  8. Remove from heat and let cool completely. This allows the flavors to meld and the butter to thicken further.
  9. Transfer the cooled Ginger Pear Butter to sterilized glass jars with tight-fitting lids.
  10. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Enjoy!
