For a deeper, richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. The molasses notes in brown sugar complement the pear and spices beautifully. Adjust the amount of orange zest and nutmeg to your personal preference. A little extra of either can create a more intense flavor profile. Be patient during the cooking process. Allowing the pear butter to simmer slowly and thicken gradually will result in the best texture and flavor. Always use proper canning techniques when preserving food at home to ensure food safety.
