  1. Combine the diced pear, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, clove, and nutmeg together in a saucepan over medium-high heat until boiling. 
  2. Reduce heat, cover partially with a lid, and cook, stirring often, for 50-60 minutes.
  3. Place into a blender (or use a hand immersion blender) and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a canning jar, seal, and refrigerator until ready to use.
  4. Side Note: If your pear butter is too runny, feel free to simmer the mixture longer on the stove to allow it to reduce more.
