Directions
Caramel Pear Butter, Source: Bon Apptit (October 2008) Yield: Makes about eight 1/2 -pint jars, Very good! I had a ton of pears to use and this was one of the recipes I made Halved the recipe which worked well (usually not a good idea with canning), and used a stick blender rather than a food mill for blending smooth Thanks for sharing the recipe!, I was goint to submit this, but found yours I was given 50 ponds of pears recently, and needed to do something with them This was soooo good, not to spicy I did make a few changes I added vanilla, and did not peel my pears used a food processer insted of a food mill I made four batches of this and put it up into pint jars insted of half pint This will become one of my yearly canning projects
