Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Pear Honey.
Step 1
Start your delightful journey by gathering your chopped pears in a spacious pot.
Step 2
To keep those lovely fruits from browning, pour in some refreshing pineapple juice, which not only preserves their color but also adds a hint of tropical sweetness.
Step 3
Next, sprinkle in the sugar and give everything a good stir, ensuring that the ingredients mingle beautifully.
Step 4
Now, place the pot over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent any sticking or scorching.
Step 5
As the mixture heats up, watch for it to reach a lively boil.
Step 6
Once it’s bubbling away, lower the heat to medium and let it simmer.
Step 7
This is where the magic happens! Allow the mixture to cook down until it thickens and transforms into a gorgeous golden hue, reminiscent of honey.
Step 8
This process usually takes about 2 to 3 hours, so feel free to enjoy the enticing aroma wafting through your kitchen as you wait.
Step 9
When your pear honey has reached the perfect consistency, it’s time to ladle it into sterilized jars.
Step 10
Fill each jar, leaving about a quarter-inch of space at the top.
Step 11
To ensure a tight seal, wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth.
Step 12
Secure the lids and rings snugly, and then it’s time for the final step: processing.
Step 13
Place the jars in a boiling water canner and let them process for 10 minutes, or follow the specific processing time recommended for your area.
Step 14
Once done, you’ll have jars of delicious pear honey ready to enjoy or share with loved ones!.
