If you prefer a completely smooth pear butter, you can pass the puree through a fine-mesh sieve after blending, although this step is optional.
The cooking time may vary depending on the type and ripeness of the pears used. Adjust as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
When canning, always follow safe canning practices to ensure proper sealing and prevent spoilage.

    This recipe is fantastic! I loved that I didn't have to peel the pears, and the texture was perfect. I added a bit more orange zest for extra zing!
