Pear Honey Fig Butter Recipe katycuneo

• 5 ripe pears (whatever variety suits your fancy - I had Bartlett) peeled, cored, roughly chopped
• 1 cup fresh figs (skins on) roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup honey (more or less depending on sweetness of fruit)
• Juice from 1/2 a medium sized lemon
• 1/3 cup water

1. Add all of the listed ingredients in a heavy sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Cook until liquid has evaporated and mixture has reduced.
3. Fruit will begin to break down and juices will be thick and sticky.
4. Remove from heat and puree mixture in small batches until smooth, returning puree to sauce pan.
5. Simmer to further reduce if not thick enough; otherwise, ladle into jars and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
