For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of ground cloves along with the nutmeg. 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.
