This Man's Cook Pear Natural Sweetener

1. Peel the pear and remove the seeds, leaving only the flesh. Cut it into small pieces so it blends smoothly in the blender.
2. Peel the onion and cut it into similar small pieces as the pear.
3. Add the prepared pear and onion to the blender, pour in a little water to help blend, and process until smooth.
4. Transfer the blended mixture and any remaining water into a deep, wide non-stick pot.
5. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning, and bring to a boil over high heat for 30 minutes.
6. Once some moisture has evaporated, reduce the heat to medium and continue simmering, checking the bottom occasionally for 30 more minutes.
7. When moisture visibly decreases, lower the heat to low and stir more frequently than before to avoid burning, continuing to simmer gently for another 30 minutes.
8. Turn off the heat when the mixture reaches a thick, jam-like consistency. Leave the lid open to allow steam to escape and let it cool completely.

Cooking tips 💡

• As the natural sweetener reduces, it becomes sticky and may splatter; always use a deep, wide non-stick pot to prevent burns.
• During the low-heat stage, ensure maximum moisture evaporation so the sweetness fully concentrates—constant stirring is essential to prevent scorching.
• The finished natural sweetener can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer use, portion into ice cube trays and freeze—ideal for up to one month of cooking convenience.
