Recipe Notes
The nutritional value may vary depending on the ingredients used.
For the pears, I used Bartlett pears but Anjou pears will work as well. For the apples, I used Gala but Mcintosh will work as well.
If you don't have a cinnamon stick you can replace it with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Apple Pear Butter will last up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 3 months. Enjoy on pancakes, toast, pork or chicken.
