Ingredients
- 5 Pounds (lb) pears, peeled
- 0.5 Cups (cup) water
- 2 Cups (cup) brown sugar, packed
- 2 Teaspoons (tsp) lemon zest, grated
- 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) nutmeg, ground
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) almond extract
- 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) limoncello liqueur
Steps
- Place the diced pears and water into a pot or large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the pears are soft, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, sterilize six half-pint jars and keep them warm.
- Transfer the softened pears to a food processor and pulse until they reach your desired consistency. Return the mixture to the pan.
- Stir in the brown sugar, lemon zest, nutmeg, almond extract, and limoncello. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a butter-like consistency, about 1 hour.
- Ladle the pear butter into the sterile jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal with lids and rings.
- Process the jars in a hot water bath for 10 minutes to ensure a proper seal.
