My THM-Friendly recipe for Pear Butter is simple to make, sugar-free, and will help your home smell delicious. I used to make Acorn Squash bread and apple butter for Thanksgiving each year. This year, I decided to make healthy alternatives, and I went with pear butter instead of apple butter because it’s what I had on hand. You could use different kinds of fruit with this recipe. Consider trying it with apples and/or plums!
Health Benefits of the Pear Butter
- Pears are nutritious. This fruit is in season in Autumn, high in fiber, and good for your heart health. You can learn more on Healthline.com .
- It’s a healthy carb source. If you spread some of this on a slice of soured or sprouted bread you’ll be getting just the right amount of carbs for a Trim Healthy Mama E meal. Just have a protein drink or some other lean protein on the side.
THM-Friendly E Recipe for Pear Butter
Ingredients:
- 12 pears roughly cut into chunks (don’t bother peeling them)
- 1 cup water
- ¼ tsp. Pure Stevia Extract Powder
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp. Cinnamon
- ½ tsp. Nutmeg
- ½ tsp. Cloves
- Place all of the ingredients in a pot or crockpot and cook on low until the pears are very soft. After that, let the mixture cool before blending it in a blender. Use immediately or store it in the fridge. This goes great on soured, soaked or sprouted bread! I’ve also added it to oatmeal.
