Is pear butter well known? Making some for the Christmas market, not sure if people will know what it is…
I had some super ripe pears left from my tree and decided to make pear butter, I plan to sell it at the market, but I'm afraid people won't know what it is enough to want to buy it. Have you heard of pear butter or ever tried it before?

Ive seen things like apple and pumpkin butter being sold in markets. You can try having an open jar wirh some crackers for people to taste it.

I like to make it but prefer to call it “Pear Bbq Sauce” because it’s … so NOT like apple butter to me!

Anything that’s a fruit with butter in the name would register to me as a similar product to apple butter.

Before I started canning I had never heard of pear butter. But when I go to a makers market, I always prioritize buying interesting and unique offerings that can’t be bought at the grocery store. I’d be inclined to try yours for sure!

I make two kinds of pear butter, peach butter, blueberry butter, apple butter….

I’m not the biggest fan of pear or any fruit butter but I do know what it is. Give me some pear preserves or canned in super light syrup and I’m a happy man.
Me too! Pears are underrated. Just made this yesterday!

My wife made a bunch this fall. It’s good, but poorly named. Pear sauce, pear jam or pear spread would be more descriptive. Make sure people know what it is and how to use it, or they’re likely to mistake it for applesauce.

Sounds yummy.

That sounds so good! And such a good idea!

Mmmm fruit butter. Plum is my favorite

I would think it sounds novel and get some. Last night I ate a jar of berry lemon curd with a spoon.
Most people know what apple butter is so they will probably get the idea. If I saw this at a market I would totally get some since I’ve never had any before

My great aunt taught me to make all kinds of fruit butter so it would make perfect sense to me. She had quinces in the yard and we made quince butter. Mmmmm.

Ma grandmother used to can pear butter. It was so good! If I came across some for sell I’d definitely buy it

People will know exactly what it is since it’s pretty straightforward.
I wanted to try making some pear cobbler later.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I love pear butter and make it regularly

What recipe did you use? I made this [salted caramel pear butter](https://www.ballmasonjars.com/blog?cid=salted-caramel-pear-butter) and it was good, but I think there is something better out there!
