Ingredients

3 lb Pears Bosc or Bartlett are best
⅓ cup Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Lemon Juiced
½ cup Water

Instructions

Wash the pears and cut the pears off the core and into large chunks. You do not have to peel the pears.
Add the chunks of pears to the Instant Pot. Add the rest of the ingredients into the Instant Pot on top of the pears. Mix to combine the ingredients.
Close the lid of the Instant Pot and make sure the knob on the lid is set to the sealing position.
Set the cooking time to 15 minutes on high pressure. After 15 minutes, allow the Instant Pot to natural release for 10 minutes. Quick release any remaining pressure.
With an immersion blender, blend the pears until it is the consistency of applesauce. Allow the pear butter to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools. If you would like the pear butter thicker, set the Instant Pot to "saute" and cook for 5 minutes or until your desired consistency is reached.
The Instant Pot will take 5-10 minutes to come up to pressure before it will start cooking.
If you don't have an immersion blender, use a potato masher, a food processor, or an individual hand blender to puree the pear mixture.
