Crockpot Lacto-Fermented Pear Butter

Recipe Description:

Thanks to generous friends, we had a pile of pears in our kitchen waiting to be used. My husband suggested subbing in pears in our standard apple butter recipe. We tried it and loved it. It smells just like fall!

Prep Time: 25 Minutes

Cook Time: 10 Hours

Servings: 2-3 cups

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

Recipe Instructions:

Wash, core, and quarter the pears. Place in slow cooker and add water, cinnamon and ginger. Cook on low for 8-12 hours, or until the pears are soft.

When pears are soft, puree the apple mixture in the slow cooker using an immersion blender. (Alternately, you could transfer in batches to a stand blender.) Continue cooking on low in the slow cooker with the lid off until it reaches the desired consistency, usually about 1-2 hours.

Allow to cool, then stir in 2 T. of whey. Put into jars. Leave at room temperature for 24-48 hours before transferring to the refrigerator.

* This should keep for at least 2 months in the refrigerator.
