Rosemary Pear Butter
If you’re a fan of pumpkin, apple, or even fig butter, you must try this rosemary pear butter. A client of mine sent me the recipe last year and I’ve been dying to try it ever since. My house smelled amazing while it was cooking up…but I really love anything with rosemary! After tasting it, next time I would use much less honey (if any?) than the recipe calls for, and it would be just as delicious! What do you think?
