Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

12 Bosc pears, very ripe, cored, peeled, and cut into large chunks
3/4 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean
3 strips lemon rind, about 2 inches in length

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients and 1/4 cup water in a heavy-bottomed pan. Cook over a low flame 2 to 3 hours, until the fruit is soft.
  • Remove the vanilla bean, and put the fruit through a food mill on the smallest setting. Pour into canning jars, filling them within a half inch of top. Tap filled jars on table, and run a knife around sides to remove air bubbles. Make sure the top of the jar is clean; seal.
  • Refrigerate immediately. The butter will keep for two to four weeks.
