I've been reading about flappers, beatniks, and other counterculture
people. Most of them were youth culture and a common theme seems to
be liberation. From my perspective that liberation was relative and
incremental.
A couple of weeks ago i found a bunch of "wild" pear trees. I think
their ancestor was a Bartlett. The offspring seem able to compete &
spread. The pears were scarcely larger than crab apples. I grabbed
a grocery bag full of them, and the trees are loaded with fruit so i
could grab many more. I wasn't sure how they'd turn out. Last week
i processed the riper half of the pears. I quartered and cored them
and filled a crockpot. I didn't bother to peel them because they're
so small, but halfway through i used a potato ricer to mash them up.
I sprinkled in a little nutmeg. As it cooked, the whole house smelt
magical. It yielded a quart and a half, which i have been using for
pancake topping and to doctor up porridge.
Once i heard someone say wacky weed is the only honest drug, because
it's the only drug that doesn't steal anything from you after using.
Of course YMMV. Here's a 420 friendly pear butter recipe. ;)
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Pear Butter
Categories: Crockpot, Sauce
Yield: 14 Servings
5 lb Bartlett pears
3/4 c Brown sugar (optional)
1 tb Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
1 lg Orange peel strip
- (optional)
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 420 minutes
This slow cooker (or crockpot) recipe for homemade pear butter is
made with ripe Bartlett pears with their skin left on, cinnamon,
nutmeg, and brown sugar! The slow-cooked pear butter is thick,
spreadable, and bursting with fruit flavor. Enjoy the condiment as a
spread on toast or as a topping for pancakes!
Wash, core, and slice the pears. Do not peel the pears but do remove
any weird brown spots or blemishes.
Place the prepared pears into the slow cooker. Add the brown sugar,
ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat. Add the orange peel onto
the top of the pears.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 6 hours. You'll know it is
done when everything mushes up well when you test it with a fork or
masher.
Remove the orange peel and puree the pears with an immersion blender
or transfer the pears to a blender and puree well. The immersion
blender will make it more chunky. While you are working on blending
the pear butter, make sure the slow cooker remains on high
temperature and keep the lid on it to maintain the heat.
Give your blended pear butter a little taste and add more sugar if
you'd like it to be more sweet. Return the pureed pear butter to the
slow cooker and continue to cook for one hour on high with the lid
off.
Place the pear butter into clean jars and seal with lids. Refrigerate
till cooled.
Serve on bread, toast, crackers, muffins, pancakes, or as a fruit
dip. This will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 1
week. It freezes well. Just leave a little "head space" for expanding
when it freezes.
