Quick Pear Butter – No Sugar Added
This quick pear butter can come together in under 1 hour! Of course you can slow cook it, make it more complicated, etc. but who has time for that? Another bonus is this pear butter is sweetened with a dollop of honey; pears are sweet enough on their own and that is truly all that is needed! To keep things simple, I paired (peared, lol) down the spices to just one ingredient — pumpkin pie spice — making this a total of 4 ingredients! Alright, now that you get the picture, let’s get started!

- 3 medium pears peeled, cored, and chopped
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp honey

Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan on medium heat.
- Stirring frequently, once mixture comes to a boil, then cover (with lid a jar) and turn down to simmer for about 30 more minutes. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't scorch!
- Once pears are softened and liquid is thickening, pulse with immersion blender to desired consistency or transfer to food processor to puree.
- If mixture is too watery after blending return to heat to thicken to desired consistency.
- Cool before serving. Keep in refrigerator or preserve according to USDA’s canning guidelines.
