Apple-Pear Butter

Learn how to make your own Apple-Pear Butter from scratch and enjoy a delicious homemade spiced fruit spread anytime you’d like! It always makes me happy when fresh pears and apples show up at the farmers’ market or in the produce aisle at the grocery store. Pear and apple season in the United States is from August to November, so now is the time to take advantage of fresh harvest from local orchards or farmers’ markets.

Although you can buy fruit butter year-round now, there is still something special about making your own at home. And it’s worth the effort. Every spoonful of this fruit butter bursts with fall flavor from warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice. Enjoy it on your waffles, as a sandwich spread, or sneak spoonfuls of it straight from the jar – no one will blame you!

To make the Apple-Pear Butter, you will need the following ingredients:
