Sweetened with honey and warm spice, this homemade pear butter is a fall staple you’ll want to put on everything! It’s great for canning and storing to enjoy with all of your favorite baked goods year-round.

Fruit butters, jams, and jellies are some of my favorite things to make because of how incredibly delicious they turn out! There’s nothing you can buy from the store that compares. Making fruit butter from scratch just tastes better and it’s free of artificial flavors and preservatives! Try this strawberry jam, peach jam, or mango chutney next for some fresh, fruity goodness.

If you’ve never tried fruit butter before, prepare to be amazed. It’s one of my favorite fruity condiments! It’s similar to jams and jellies but is made by cooking down the liquid in the fruit until it thickens instead of adding pectin. If you really want your homemade fruit butter to shine, I recommend making it with fruits and berries that are in season for the best flavor! Since pears are in season from August to October, now’s the perfect time to make this insanely good pear variety!

I can’t get enough of this pear butter. I mean, there’s not much that can beat a juicy pear on its own, but cooking it into a smooth, warm, perfectly spiced spread is easily one of the best ways to prepare it. This pear butter is lightly sweetened with honey and brown sugar, then mixed with delicious spices for the best fall flavor! You can use it on toast, sandwiches, pound cake, cookies, and so much more! (I have some delicious ideas listed below!) It’s also great for canning so you can enjoy it all year long!

Using fresh pears is key to making the most delicious pear butter. The nice thing about this recipe is that you likely have everything else needed to make it ready to go in your kitchen right now! It’s time to break out the spice rack and make this delicious fall treat. If you’re looking for measurements, they can all be found below in the recipe card.

Press gently near the stem of the pear. It’s ready to eat if it gives slightly. Avoid pears that are too firm or too mushy.

If you want to store your pear butter long-term, you’ll need a few extra supplies to do so!

Making homemade pear butter is a cinch! You’ll love having it around to use on toast and all of your other favorite baked goods!

If you can your pear butter it can stay good for up to a year! This is a great way to enjoy a little fall comfort food no matter the season!

The long shelf life of pear butter is what makes it so great! I have absolutely loved having it on hand for breakfast. It tastes so good on toast, bagels, oatmeal, you name it! It’s the perfect fall treat.

Pear butter works as a condiment similar to jam or jelly! It’s amazing on toast, PB&Js, oatmeal, yogurt, cookies, pancakes, French toast, and more! Here are a few tasty ways to try it out.
