This pear sauce is slow cooked in the oven and tastes great with venison or other roasts. If I have a large pear harvest, I usually make a few extra jars to give away as presents.
Step: 1
Immerse 4 large jars in simmering water until pear butter is ready. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step: 2
Mix pears, red wine, sugar, and ginger in a large bowl. Spread on a large baking sheet.
Step: 3
Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 20 minutes, until pears are soft and mushy, about 2 hours.
Step: 4
Pack pear butter into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
Step: 5
Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
Step: 6
Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, for 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Store in a cool, dark area.

One of most clear way to pick a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. If you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Making steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to adjust with make a rice salad.
One make sure is also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But often you can make a dish do double-duty .
