Inspired by my dear friend Sophie, (see part one over at her blog) I too decided to try out her awesome pear butter recipe.  I didn’t buy 28 pounds of pears though, but did get a h-u-g-e bag of Bartletts at the local farmer’s market.  My crock pot was full when I started cooking it and half full by the time it was nice and thick.  Yummy.  I probably overdid it on the cloves, but I still love it.  The kids, not so much, which means more for me.  I’ve sent over a jar to my neighbor (who cuts my hair in exchange for such goodies).

If you want the recipe, you’re going to have to go over to Sophie’s blog and coax it out of her!
