• Use a slotted spoon to transfer pears to a blender. Reserve any cooking liquid left behind in slow cooker. Puree pears, adding just enough of the cooking liquid to get a thick, spreadable consistency.
• Transfer pear butter to clean half or quarter pint canning jars, using a butter knife, spoon, or your scrupulously clean fingers to press out any air bubbles. Leave 1/2-inch headspace between top of food and rim of each jar.
• Screw on 2-piece canning lids and process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes.
