gonna have to try that... recipe?
I didn't really use a recipe per se, I kind of followed one I found online but added and subtracted a few things. I had all those asian pears, I used cinnamon, nutmeg, Pumpkin pie spice because I dont have any all spice LOL, vanilla, a Tb of honey powder. I sort of winged it. It was my first time making any kind of fruit butter.
I'm guessing its the same as apple butter, just use pears. make sure you peel the pears first though. Cooked in a crockpot had lots of juice so I strained a lot of it out. ran it very quickly with a hand blender and canned it up.
Wow!!
Can 'em like most other foods, the taste of canned potatoes is not the same as fresh cooked to me, but when you don't have fresh potatoes, they work just fine. We usually pressure cook them before canning.
not hard at all to do. I Raw Pack mine. just peel em, wash them, cut them up to the size you like, stuff the jars full ( leave a 1/2 inch head space ) add in 1 tsp of canning salt to quarts or 1/2 tsp for pints, fill the jars up with hot water, put lids and rings on finger tight, pressure can pint jars for 35 min at 10lbs of pressure and 40 min at 10lbs for quart jars.
Sounds easy enough. I need to get a pressure cooker now. Can I Google shop for one now without NSA or some other outfit profiling me?
Dang, those ain't cheap.
My wife & I do a bit of canning, but I never thought about raw packing. When you say hot water, do you mean tap hot*, or simmering/boiling hot?
* Don't worry, I don't use tap water for much beyond showering & washing clothes - just using the expression.
