For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of ground cloves along with the nutmeg. If you prefer a completely smooth pear butter, you can pass the puree through a fine-mesh sieve after blending, although this step is optional. The cooking time may vary depending on the type and ripeness of the pears used. Adjust as needed to achieve your desired consistency. When canning, always follow safe canning practices to ensure proper sealing and prevent spoilage.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the quartered and cored pears with enough water to just cover them. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)
02
StepBring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer gently until the pears are very soft and easily pierced with a fork. (Estimated time: 30 minutes)
03
StepDrain the pears thoroughly in a colander, discarding the cooking water. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)
04
StepTransfer the drained pears to a high-powered blender or food processor and puree until smooth. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)
05
StepReturn the pear puree to the pot. Stir in the granulated sugar, sucralose sweetener, grated orange zest, ground nutmeg, and fresh orange juice. (Estimated time: 3 minutes)
06
StepBring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Cook, stirring constantly, until the pear butter has thickened to your desired consistency. (Estimated time: 15 minutes)
07
StepRemove the pot from the heat and stir in the unflavored gelatin powder until it is completely dissolved. This will help to set the pear butter and prevent separation. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)
08
StepLadle the hot pear butter into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Seal with lids and rings, following proper canning procedures. Alternatively, transfer the pear butter to freezer-safe containers and freeze for longer storage. (Estimated time: 15 minutes)
