How to Make Orange Pineapple Pear Butter Sauce

  1. Peel, core, and roughly chop 3 pounds ripe pears. (If using a high-powered blender, you may skip peeling.)
  2. In a large stockpot, combine the chopped pears, 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup pineapple juice, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are very soft.
  4. Add cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, whisking rapidly until blended. Taste and adjust the amount of cardamom to your preference (1-1.5 teaspoons total, maximum). Note that the cardamom flavor intensifies as the sauce cooks.
  5. Continue to simmer for another 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. The sauce should thicken considerably.
  6. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Place clean, sterilized jars in the oven to heat while you finish the sauce.
  7. Heat jar lids and rings in a separate bowl of hot water.
  8. Carefully pour the hot pear butter sauce into the warmed jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  9. Wipe the jar rims with a clean, damp cloth.
  10. Secure lids and rings onto jars.
  11. Place jars in a canner filled with enough hot water to cover the jars by at least 1 inch.
  12. Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
  13. Carefully remove jars from canner and place them on a towel-lined counter, away from drafts. Allow to cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
  14. Once cool, check to ensure jars are sealed properly (lids should not flex when pressed). Store in a cool, dark place.
