Crock Pot Recipe: Pear Butter - The Organic Dietitian (2024)

I have never made a fruit butter. But you just inspired me! I’ll try this soon

EASY! I have 3 non-functioning fingers on my work hand and still could do this! But, I used a lil handful of diced dates. Yesterday, I was feeling helpless that I could not make a dessert with the end season of our pears, but this is even much more healthy. Pears are in the crock pot now. Thank you for your no-sugar added recipe.

This is a great blog, would you be involved in doing an interview about how you created it? If so email me! dbdbgeddedebdcee

Thanks for your efforts on this web site. I am an “arm chair” nutritionist that agrees wholeheartedly with the idea of getting America out of the box and back in the kitchen (and organic garden). We need more of this and less “there’s a pill for that philosophy.”
Thanks again,

Love that you use the peels in the pear butter. I assume this can be preserved by canning in boiling water?

I make it with Asian pears, peels on, nothing added but a little cinnamon and ground cloves. No sugar or dates or anything. I only wash and quarter them, removing stems and seeds. Then I cook until soft on low overnight in a large stock pot, pour off the clear liquid to cook down separately on the stovetop (to save crockpot space), then blend the rest with an immersion blender and cook down in a crock pot for most of the next day. The peels add a slight grittiness which I don’t mind. Even if the pears are half green and not very sweet to start with, the cooked-down pear butter will be sweet.

I have been looking for canning recipes that don’t have sugar added too the mix, I find that fruit is sweet enough. Thank you for the recipe! I just put 4 pounds of pears from my pear tree in my slow cooker! Can’t wait to enjoy this pear butter guilt free. I love to can , but I have had some major life changes! I have gout, diabetes, and a fatty liver! Not good. I have lost 40 lbs so far and will continue watching my diet. Thank you again for the recipe????

Do you think dates would work with peach butter?

Looks great! I am thinking of making a batch or 2 of this to put in small jars to give out at my grandmas 95th birthday party, can you tell me how many ounces your recipe makes? Or how many small jars do I can get enough jars!

My sister is Vegan and she purchases Almond Butter and Pumkin Butter. Do you have any recipes for either of these? Thank You!

Made this today with Asian applepears…..ugly hard green ….wow!!!!…what a tranformation!!! Sooooo goooood…thank you

I made this recipe last year and absolutely loved it. It’s now my go to recipe in the fall for our pear tree. Have you ever made this when the pears are just picked? Or do you usually wait until they are ripe? Does it make a difference in the taste?

Do have the nutritional value?

How long does this stay good for if stored in a jar in the fridge?
