Name of Recipe:
Spiced Pear Paste

3 pears, cored and chopped (don't bother peeling)
Juice 2 lemons
50ml water
½ tsp mixed spice
380g rapadura or raw sugar.

Blitz until smooth and scrape down. Cook on Varoma/40 minutes/Speed 2. Pour into small tubs to set. Serve with soft cheeses.
This made 3 tubs the size of the little green demonstrator bowls.

A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Look forward to trying this one MJ...does it set firm like quince, or is it a softer paste, and that's why you set it in bowls?

It's a little softer than quince paste. I guess if you cooked it longer it would be firmer. I was just a bit worried that it might catch on the bottom.
