Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 lbs pears cored and sliced
- ⅓ cup water
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
- Combine pears, water, lemon juice, and brown sugar in the slow cooker. Set to high for 4 hours.
- When 4 hours has passed, blend the pear mixture with an immersion blender or mash until mostly smooth. Set to low for another 6 to 8 hours. The time will depend on how ripe the pears were initially. For overripe pears, 6 hours is plenty of time. Less ripe pears will likely take the full 8 hours.
- Stir and transfer to a mason jar or airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
