Peel, core, and chop the pears into small pieces. This helps them cook down faster and ensures a smoother texture.

In a large pot, combine the chopped pears, water, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.

Place the pot over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Once the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the pears to simmer for about 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.

After the pears have softened and broken down, remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the mixture to a regular blender in batches.

Return the blended mixture to the pot.

Cook the pureed pear mixture over low heat for an additional 30 minutes, stirring frequently. This helps to thicken the butter and develop the flavors.

Taste and adjust the sweetness or spices as desired.

Once the pear butter has reached your desired thickness, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Transfer the pear butter to a clean jar and seal tightly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or process in a water bath for longer shelf life.
