Pear Butter

Directions

1. 1
   Combine all of the above ingredients in a large pot, and bring it to a simmer.
2. 2
   Cook gently for about 15 minutes, until all of the dried pears are soft and rehydrated, stirring the mixture occasionally.
3. 3
   Let cool for a few minutes, and then transfer everything into your food processor or blender, and thoroughly puree.
4. 4
   The mixture will be extremely thick, so make sure that you scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice to get things entirely smooth.
5. 5
   Spoon the pear butter into clean jars, and seal tightly.
6. 6
   Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, where it will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
