Time 3h30m

Yield About 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds soft, ripe pears like Bartlett or Anjou, coarsely chopped with peel and core (10 cups)
2 pounds apples, coarsely chopped with peel and core (8 cups)
1/2 cup brandy
180 grams light brown sugar (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 grams ground cardamom (about 1/2 teaspoon)
Pinch fine sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine pears, apples, 3 cups water and brandy. Bring to a boil and cook over high heat until fruit is very soft and falling apart, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Run mixture through the fine mesh of a food mill to remove seeds and skin. Return purée to pot and stir in sugar, lemon juice, cardamom and salt. Simmer over low heat, stirring often to prevent scorching at the bottom of the pot, until butter is thick, jammy, sticky to the touch and chestnut-colored, about 2 1/2 hours. Stir in vanilla.
  • If you plan to can the butter, while it simmers prepare the jars according to the instructions here; after it has simmered, spoon into hot sterilized jars and process as directed. Otherwise, let butter cool, then store in the refrigerator or freezer.
