DIY Roasted Cardamom Vanilla Pear Butter in Glass Square Jars
Roasting concentrates the natural sugar in the fruit, which is what gives this pear butter its deep flavor before cardamom and vanilla finish it. Small glass square jars from SKS Bottle & Packaging turn a single batch into several gift-size jars.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 3 lb firm-ripe pears (Bosc or Anjou), halved and cored
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
- 3/4 tsp cardamom
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3.75 oz Clear Glass Square Jar w/ Black Metal Lug Cap
Instructions:
- Roast the Pears: Place the pears cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet with the water. Roast at 400°F for 35-40 minutes, until very soft with caramelized edges.
- Puree: Scoop the flesh from the skins and blend until smooth.
- Cook Down: Simmer the puree with the brown sugar, lemon juice, cardamom, cinnamon, salt, and the vanilla bean seeds and pod for 25-30 minutes, stirring often, until thick and glossy. Remove the pod.
- Jar the Butter: Spoon into your SKS glass jars and let cool completely before capping.
A Quick Note: Makes about 2 cups, enough to fill about four jars. This is a refrigerator spread, not a shelf-stable canned product. Refrigerate and use within 2-3 weeks.
