A delightful spread combining the sweetness of pears and apples with warm spices.
Wash the pears and apples thoroughly, then remove their stems and cores.
Using ripe fruits ensures a sweeter and more flavorful butter.
Chop the fruits into small pieces and place them in a large saucepan.
Smaller pieces cook faster and more evenly.
Cook the fruits over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and tender, about 30 minutes.
Cover the saucepan to retain moisture and prevent drying out.
Pass the cooked fruits through a food mill to create a smooth puree.
If you don't have a food mill, use a blender and then strain the mixture.
Return the puree to the saucepan and add honey, orange zest, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or spices to your liking.
Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens and reduces by half, about 45 minutes.
Stirring frequently prevents the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Pour the hot butter into sterilized jars, leaving some headspace, and seal them.
Ensure the jars are properly sterilized to extend the shelf life.
Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
Label the jars with the date to keep track of freshness.
