Preparation Steps:
Peel and core the pears, removing seeds and tough parts.Chop the pears finely. Cook them in a small amount of water until soft. Drain the water, and purée the soft pears into a smooth mash.
Preheat the honey:
Place a glass of honey into a pot of water. Heat the water gently until it boils. Stir the honey with a spoon. Skim off the foam that forms on top – this is wax and pollen residue. Add the warm, cleaned honey to the pear purée. Add the herbal powder mix and stir constantly. Bring the mixture to a short boil and let it simmer briefly. Pour the hot mixture immediately into clean glass jars. Store in the refrigerator.
