Ginger Pear Butter

Why should apple butter get all the glory? We thought the same thing—so we gave a classic fruit butter recipe a twist by swapping in Bartlett pears and adding just one bold, warming note: fresh ginger.

Made with sweet, juicy pears from Van Loben Sels' Farms in the Sacramento Delta, this butter is smooth, fragrant, and just the right amount of spicy. The ginger gives it a gentle kick that balances the natural sweetness of the fruit without overpowering it.

We cook the pears down slowly with pure cane sugar, a bit of citrus pectin, and plenty of patience to get that silky, spreadable texture. It’s perfect on toast, folded into yogurt, or stirred into oatmeal when you need a cozy moment.
