-
-- ⏲️ Prep time: 30 min
-- 🍳 Cook time: 6 hours
-
-## Ingredients
-
-- 7 pears (Quality doesn't matter; you can argue that overripe pears are better because they have more sugar content.)
-- 3 apples
-- a small handful of dates, raisins, dried apricots or prunes (optional -- you can experiment with these; they can bring out some nice flavors.)
-- 150 grams sugar
-- 1 glass of water
-- find sieve or cheese cloth
-- glass jar

-## Directions
-
-1. Wash the outside of the fruit with water and cut it in 8 medium sized pieces. You don't have to core or deseed the fruit; everything can go in the pot.
-2. Place the fruit in a large pan with a thick bottom so you get even heat. I suggest you place the pears on the bottom, since they don't burn as fast. Add the glass of water.
-3. If you are using them, add the dried fruits at this point.
-4. Put the heat as low as possible and let it all slowly stew for 3 hours, stirring every now and then.
-5. At this point, you can boil your glass jars to sterilize them. Place the sterilized jars on a clean, dry towel.
-6. When the fruit is done cooking for 3 hours, grab your sieve or cheese cloth, and place it over a bowl, run your fruit through it until you have extracted all the clear liquid. You can discard the pulp.
-7. Quickly rinse the pot with water until clean and add the fruit liquid back. Place back on the stove.
-8. Add the sugar. Add a bit less sugar if you also used dried fruits.
-9. Cook for another 2 hours. After that, stir every so often, Be careful with the stirring; if you stir too often, it might caramelize too quickly.
-10. After two to two and a half hours, your syrup should be nearly done.
-11. At this point, it's up to you on how thick you want your syrup to be. A good way to test the viscosity is to drop a little bit on a cold plate or on your countertop to see how it is at room temperature.
-12. When you are happy with the viscosity, pour the syrup into your sterilized jars and immediately seal them.
