Directions
Caramel Spice Pear Butter,If you like making home-made preserves, then this easy to prepare Pear Butter is just for you. I found this recipe in an old Home Canning book many years ago and have been making batches every year. There’s extra flavor richness in this pear butter that is contributed by the spices and some caramelized sugar. Enjoy!,Did not like this at all. MUCH too sweet and not thick enough. Should have half that much sugar or less.,How long do I process the jars for if I can the pear butter in pints?
