Steps
Sugar-Free Pear Compote
Jar sterilization during preparation:
Arrange the jars and lids in a large pot, completely covering them with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let it boil for 30 minutes.
At the end, turn off the heat and leave them warm by closing the pot with the lid. Carefully remove the jars and lids with the help of tongs and dry them completely with a clean cotton cloth.
Wash the pears well, cut the pears, and remove the stem and seeds. I leave the peels, 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 the immersion blender.
Add the packet of pectin, the sweetener, and the lemon juice, mix well, and place on low heat.
If you don’t want to use pectin, you can add 300 g of apples to the pears, which contain pectin.
Stir often and from the moment it boils, cook for about 25 minutes.
Put the chopped pears in the bowl with the 3:1 pectin, the sweetener, and the lemon juice
close with the measuring cup and blend turbo 2 sec twice, if you prefer a smoother compote, you can blend more.
Stir with the spatula, place the basket on the lid and cook 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.
