Nothing makes it fall more than apple butter. This year, I took it further with my attempt at making it and tried this pear and apple butter.
Slow Cooker Salted Caramel Pear Apple Butter
Ingredients:
3.5 pounds apples
3.5 pounds of pears
1/4 cup water
6 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
1 teaspoon sea salt
3.5 pounds apples
3.5 pounds of pears
1/4 cup water
6 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
1 teaspoon sea salt
Insructions:
Place all ingredients into a slow cooker (6-8 quarts). Turn the slow cooker on low and cover for 12 hours. Mine cooked 14-16 hours.
Use an immersion blender or I used my countertop blender and purred the fruit until smooth.
Then I put back into the crock pot and kept warm (low setting) for six hours. The butter cooks for around 22-24 hours in total. Adjust the seasonings to your liking and store in the refrigerator for 2-4 weeks or water bath process. Ladel the butter into hot sanitized jars (1/2 pints), leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

*I added 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 3/4 cup of white sugar to this and then canned.
