Salted Caramel Pear Butter ~ Home Canning ~ How To Make Pear Butter

[@ToniKottlowski]

This stuff is amazing. I have canned this recipe now over 10 times. Every time I could get pears I have made a recipe. I now have them on my shelf to give out as gifts and enjoy for the rest of the year. This one is a definite try!

[@berrypatch5583]

This looks beautiful. This is being added to my list to make😁

[@margolucas3793]

I can almost taste it now! Looks delicious! 💕

[@lauraslavney2864]

I made this several weeks ago and finally popped open a jar! It smells nice and tastes delicious. We had it with sausages and biscuits. I also thought it would be great to mix some with German whole grain mustard and serve Brotworst….not a flavored one just the regular one.

Love your cute pumpkins!!!

Thank you 😊

Greetings from Germany 😀, I tried your recepy today and it tasted delicious, I will definitely make a bigger batch as Christmas gift for my children 🤗🤗🤗😋😋😋

[@carolallen6219]

Thank you Carol. I can’t wait to try this!!

[@TjTracyThomas]

Made this today. Very sweet and tasted great with the extra 1/2 tsp of salt. I got exactly four half-pints. Thanks again Carol for your video and helpful tips! Btw, there is a tool to use to remove pear stems and cores. Very handy.

[@enna4986]

What is the name of the tool? I literally needed this this week and hsve no idea. Tia

[@PhilReavis]

Great video Carol, I will be making this recipe soon. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@bonnie5601]

Hi Carol! Have a bunch of pears that ripened quickly and found your recipe. Will make this tomorrow.

[@tarawhite8847]

Lemon juice has a lot of pectin in it so it helps set the butter as there is no commercial pectin in the recipe :)

[@mermaidtails4391]

No, lemon juice itself is very low in pectin

[@precious1porvida]

Will definitely try this!!

[@greggriffin1]

We enjoy your vids,very much we will try this this week, thank you

[@elizabethrowe9432]

I was going to make this also ❤perfect timing!

[@ahappynanac5640]

Thank you❤

[@mermaidtails4391]

Carol one more question: is the 4 pound pear weight after they’ve been peeled, cored, chopped?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Before

I love pears and will be making it. Is it okay to use Celtic salt?. Thanks Carol!

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes

[@mariebooze956]

looks delish.yes these would make wonderful gifts for the holidays...i normally leave my skins on my fruit when cooking it down in the crockpot..do you think you could leave the peels on the pears when cooking since we are going to blend it all up with the immersion blender anyhow?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

I don’t think I would….

Pears are of the APPLE FAMILY

[@cherylspeed7950]

I wonder what it would taste like with a little carol twist of caramel flavored liquor such as caramel crown royal? What do you think Carol? 😉

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

AMAZING! Now you’re talking!! 😁

[@mermaidtails4391]

Hey Carol, did you add that extra tsp of salt and did it make a difference in taste?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes and yes

[@rosa.athome]

Can you sub apples in this recipe ?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Yes

[@susankale1201]

Can you use any type of pears? I have an abundance of Asian pears. And can you use Asian pears as a substitute for all pear recipes?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Asian pears have to be canned with added acid to be safe. I would not swap them here

[@lindamagart9893]

Hi Carol, Trying this right now. I doubled the recipe, followed it to the T, but it's not as dark as yours. I used dark sugar. Do I need to cook it longer ? It's been slow cooking for 4 1/2 hrs. Will this be a concern? It's ready to put in the jars. Sure taste Yummy😊 Hello again, the morning after. The butter processed fine but definitely not as thick or as dark as yours. They all sealed great. My cooker is a 8.5 quart, would that of had anything to do with anything? Will it thicken more as it sits? I'm fairly new at canning so I just want to make sure it is SAFE to eat. By the way, the apple butter turned out beautifully and tasted wonderful.😊

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

It is safe as long as you processed correctly. The color could depend on a number of factors. It doesn’t have to look exactly like mine 😊

[@Tpowers805]

Loved the video, definitely going to make this for my wife this weekend. Thank you and hope all is well

[@JulieHarlos]

Hi! I want to cook my pears with thecskin on and put them thru my food mill to make the sauce. Do you know how much sauce I need before I add the brown sugar and salt? Thanks!

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

This recipe has not been tested with skin on. I’m not sure about the safety of doing so

[@JulieHarlos]

After I cook the pears I run them thru my food mill to make sauce...all the skins and core and seeds are removed! Just left with sauce!

[@chrissyf6796]

Is the apple cider alchoholic or more of a sparkling apple juice? Would a regular apple juice be okay? I'm in australia and I'm under the impression apple cider is different in America.

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Interesting… Apple cider here is not alcoholic or sparkling, although there are those versions. Its different from apple juice but that would work 😊

[@sunshinemee2570]

Do you think this work work for cranberries?? If so any clue what measurements would be? Thank you SO much. Running late this year 😳 but want to make some for Christmas gifts!

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

I don’t think cranberries would work well here and I wouldn’t know where to start to convert the recipe, I’m sorry

[@sunshinemee2570]

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 no worries. I thank you so much for replying. Merry Christmas and wishing you a safe and prosperious Happy New Year!

[@nellyville1977]

​​@@sunshinemee2570Cranberry Apple Butter is literally amazing and makes a beautiful gift any time of the year! I always buy a few extra bags of cranberries to keep in the freezer during Thanksgiving so I can make gifts. It is yummy on pancakes and waffles and vanilla ice cream ❤

[@sunshinemee2570]

@@nellyville1977 thank you! I guess it will have to be on my list for next year since I can no longer find cranberries. I’m bummed. I think that I will have to expand my focus until then.

[@teresadrigotas113]

What would you use this on? We don't use a ton of apple butter. Besides using it on toast is there any other uses for it?

[@carol-thriftychichousewife6231]

Stirred into oatmeal, swirled into cheesecake, add to cake or muffin mix

[@teresadrigotas113]

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 thank you!!

On top of ice cream, French toast or on baked bananas with whipped cream were my thoughts!@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231
