| Pear and Vanilla Butter This recipe for vanilla-laced pear butter was adapted from one of Ms. Taylor's. It is easy to make at home, but you can also purchase it and other seasonal products at junetaylorjams.com. Makes: 2½ cups Ingredients | |
| 2½ pounds | Bartlett pears, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces |
| ¼ cup | apple juice |
| 2 tablespoons | orange juice |
| ¼ cup | freshly squeezed lemon juice |
| 1½ tablespoons | orange zest |
| 1 cup | sugar |
| ½ | vanilla bean, split and scraped |
What to Do
1. In a deep, wide pot over low heat, bring pears, juices and zest to a simmer, stirring frequently, until pears are just cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Set pot aside and let fruit cool to room temperature.
2. Pour pears and cooking liquid into a food processor and purée until completely smooth, like applesauce. Mix sugar and scraped vanilla seeds together in a small bowl.
3. Return purée to cleaned pot and stir in vanilla sugar. Set pot over low heat and, while stirring frequently, bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until butter is thick, dark and dense, about 45 minutes.
4. Pour hot pear butter into jars, secure lids and place on a rack to cool. Store in refrigerator and consume within two weeks.
