Steps
Sugar-Free Pear Compote
Sanitize the jars during preparation:
Place the jars and lids in a large pot, completely covering them with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let boil for 30 minutes.
At the end, turn off the heat and keep them warm by closing the pot with the lid. Remove the jars and lids carefully with the help of tongs and dry them completely with a clean cotton cloth.
Wash the pears well, cut them, and remove the stems and seeds. I leave the skins, but if you don’t like them, you can remove them.
Cut the pears into pieces.
Transfer the chopped pears and lemon juice into a pot and blend the mixture with an immersion blender.
Add the packet of pectin, sweetener, and lemon juice, mix well, and place on low heat.
If you do not want to use pectin, you can add 10.58 oz of apples to the pears, which contain pectin.
Stir often and once it boils, cook for about 25 minutes.
Put the chopped pears in the mixing bowl with the 3:1 pectin, sweetener, and lemon juice
close with the measuring cup and blend turbo for 2 seconds twice, if you prefer a creamier consistency, you can blend more.
Stir with the spatula, place the basket on the lid, and cook for 25 min at 212°F reverse speed 1.
Then another 5 min at Varoma temperature, place the basket on the lid speed 1
When the compote is cooked, transfer it to the previously sterilized jars, close the lids and turn them upside down to vacuum seal.
The sugar-free pear compote is ready to be enjoyed.
