- Stir well to combine and turn on the heat. Continue to stir as the ingredients heat up. Cover and cook for about 1 hour, on a simmer.
- Add some 8oz Mason Jars to a large pot and boil for 10 minutes. In another boil the lids.
- Once the pears are tender and the liquid has thickened some, turn off the heat.
- Taking a potato masher (or an immersion blender) - mash the ingredients until no lumps remain.
- Drain the jars, then spoon the pear honey into each mason jar. Wash the rims of the jars with a wet paper towel then add the sanitized lids. If you wait 5-10 minutes you'll hear the lids of the jars pop as they seal.
- Allow to cool at room temperature.
Notes
To be able to store at room temperature the mason jars will definitely need to be sealed correctly. This is evident after the jars have popped. You'll also be able to press on the top of mason jar, it will not be able to be pushed down (or won't pop back up).
Once a jar has been opened, it should be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
