Fruit Butter Recipes

The honey and brown sugar really gives the apple butter a little more depth then others I have tried. If you like a smoother apple butter, blend the apples once they are soft with a electric mixer. I like to use more then 1 variety of apples like Granny Smith and then something a little softer like fuji.

It's fall and there are a lot of overripe pears around, so try this recipe! You will love it! It is incredibly easy and you will wonder why you haven't made it before, once you taste it. Day-old, ugly, ripe pears that you would never eat are great for this recipe. Also, and most of all, make your food with love and encourage people as they make their own creations. It's all about the love, and when people finally sit down to partake, the experience and the way you made them feel will never be forgotten.

My 9-year-old son said 'Mom, you have to share this with America!' It's a huge hit at our house and easy to make.

Pumpkin butter is delicious on hot biscuits or light rolls.

Try this sweet, rich colored, butter-like spread made with ripe pears and a hint of lemon Liqueur. So easy to make and oh so good on toast or hot biscuits. If you prefer a lighter colored butter use white sugar in place of brown sugar.

I bake and cook them in the oven for few hours or till the apple butter is reddish and thick.

I was tired of finding apple butter recipes with more sugar than apples, so I adapted a few and perfected it. This recipe makes the house smell fantastic and tastes like fall. Enjoy! If you do not have an immersion blender: allow cooked apples to cool, transfer to a regular blender, and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the flavor. If the texture is too liquidy still, return to slow cooker and allow it to reduce for about another hour more. This recipe is really about adjusting to your taste. If you like a lighter color, cook it less. If you want it highly spiced, throw on the cloves, etc. This recipe freezes well.

Pumpkin butter with a little tang to it. Great fall dip! Serve with sliced apples, graham crackers, or club crackers.

This was my first attempt at canning anything. Ever. I shouldn't have worried so much about preserving it. Everyone we gave this to as gifts one week ago has already finished theirs! Be prepared to dream of food as the whole house will smell like apple pie overnight as this cooks.

I went apple picking and knew I wanted to make apple butter, but I also knew I didn't want to stir it for hours on the stove. I was glad to find recipes for baking it at a low temperature instead. I adapted one I found to make this spiced, not-too-sweet treat! I like it on toast or over oatmeal. Keep refrigerated for a few days, or freeze for later use.

This pear butter is very easy to make and delicious.

Great with a warm roll on the holidays, but also great any time.

Traditional apple butter ingredients cooked in an electric pressure cooker is less labor intensive than a stovetop method. It also reduces cleanup. The outcome is a creamy, sweet apple butter to spread on your favorite morning breads or pastries.

Spicy and yummy! I use 4 pounds of fruit; not always the same fruit. Store jars in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freezer for 6 months.

Grated pumpkin, applesauce, sugar, and spices make this a sweet treat!

A slightly sweet and sassy apple butter kids are sure to love! Cinnamon oil and red food coloring may be used in place of the candies. If using the cinnamon oil and omitting brown sugar this becomes a healthier tasty treat your kids won't know is good for them! My kids love this on buttered bread, warm atop french toast, or on ice cream.

Dump everything in your slow cooker, walk away, and 3 hours later you will be rewarded with delicious pumpkin butter!

This apple butter is good.

This pumpkin apple butter will have your kitchen smelling like fall! It's all natural and perfect for Thanksgiving. Store in the refrigerator.

This one is even better than the famous apple butter served at a popular French Canadian restaurant chain in Quebec. I make a huge batch using the tart apples from the tree in our yard. The sourness balances out perfectly with the maple syrup. Very freezer-friendly and great as a gift. No one will know how easy it was to make! Serve with toast or baguette.

After trying a few different recipes and methods for gifts this year, I finally found one that worked well in the kitchen and in the jar! Everyone thought this one was perfect - not too sweet, but just right! Serve immediately, can into sterilized jars and process, or cool and freeze.

Warmly spiced and easy to prepare -- this apple butter is always a tasy treat, especially on a slice of homemade bread.

This is a twist on an old hand-me-down recipe my mother came up with; it's a family favorite! It doesn't last around momma's house! I was so happy when she gave me a copy of it to take with me when I moved across the country, and I feel like its too good and too easy not to share! Tastes great on toast, biscuits, and (my favorite) waffles!

This pear butter is really great on toast, pancakes, and tea biscuits. I got this recipe from my mom. My brother has 4 pear trees and she can't stand to see the pears to waste.
