Pear Butter
I unvented this year before last when a friend gave me 2 big boxes of pears from her tree, ready to eat *now!*
quarter and core washed pears
Place in Crockpot on low setting, go away for a day or 2, stir occasionally.
Once it is cooked down to a sauce, add what ever spices you might want, I added cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg to taste. place in hot jars, and pressure can for 20 minutes. It just doesn't get any easier than this.
