Pear butter is a creamy mixture of blended pears and sugar, commonly served as a spread on toast, scones, waffles, and pancakes. It's a popular breakfast item that can be made at home with just a few ingredients. This recipe is of French origin and uses peeled and cored pears, which are slow-cooked with sugar to create a thick, rich butter. With its unique taste and natural sweetness, pear butter is a great way to add some extra flavor and nutrients to your breakfast routine.

Instructions

1.	In a large saucepan, combine chopped pear and sugar.
2.	Cook on medium heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
3.	As the mixture thickens, use a wooden spoon to mash the pears.
4.	To check if the pear butter is ready, spoon a small amount onto a chilled plate. If it firms up and does not run when tilted, it's good to go!
5.	Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool.
6.	Using a blender, puree the pear butter until smooth.
