Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds Bartlett or Anjou pears (about 5)
- 2 1/2 pounds McIntosh or Gala apples (about 5)
- 1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Directions
Peel, quarter, and core pears and apples. In a food processor, finely grate fruit (in batches, if necessary), then transfer to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in dark-brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon stick. Cover and cook on high, 4 hours.
Remove cinnamon stick and reserve. Transfer mixture to processor (in batches, if necessary) and process until smooth. Return to slow cooker, along with cinnamon stick, and cook on high, uncovered, until mixture is thick and browned, 4 hours. Discard cinnamon stick and let mixture cool. Transfer to airtight containers and refrigerate, up to 3 weeks, or freeze, up to 3 months.

Just made my first batch. Deee-licious! A few changes though. First, I accidentally did the first 4 hours on low. Then when I went to put it in the food processor at the half-way point, I strained & reserved approximately 1 cup of the juices because of the previous comments about it being a little too runny. Otherwise easy and though I haven't tried it on anything it was delicious licking the last little bits off the spoon. Can't wait for breakfast now!

Worried about the consistancy, I added some prunes which made it just the right thickness to make granola with.

After reading the reviews, I decided to turn the heat to low and simmer it for 2 additional hours with the lid off. It gave it the perfect consistency, but it also reduced what I got by half. Instead of 6 cups, I got just over 3. Worth the tradeoff? I'll let the people I give it to decide.

Too runny. I was looking for a consistancy of something heartier than a sauce/puree. Perhaps I will try draining the pear juice prior to throwing them into the crockpot.

I've not made this, but it sounds wonderful. Amy, since you said it turned out more like a "sauce" than a "butter". Do you think it it cooked longer or with the lid 1/2 off it would thicken up to be more of a butter or do you think it is missing something to thicken like corn starch?

I made 15 beautiful jars for Christmas gifts this year. Mine turned out more like "sauce" than "butter" but it was still easy and delicious!

I made this last year and intend to make it again this year. It's a very easy recipe and the end result is incredibly delicious.

This was very easy to make and my kitchen smelled wonderful all day while it cooked. I reduced the sugar from one cup to 1/2 cup as I don't like things too sweet. The flavor was good, but the sweetness was still pretty intense. The brown sugar kind of overpowered the flavor of the fruit. Next time I will reduce the sugar further to 1/4 cup.
