Ingredients

["4 pounds pears (I used the bosc variety)", "1/2 cup crystallized ginger", "1/2 cup brown sugar", "1 pint size glass \"mason\"" jar with screw top lid""]"

Directions

1

Place pears, crystallized ginger, and brown sugar in crockpot. Turn heat to high and cook for about 2 hours.
2

Reduce heat to low and cook for 8-10 more hours, stirring every now and then. The mixture will thicken as it cooks, and it will keep getting darker the longer you cook it.
3

When it has finished cooking, allow to cool completely before passing through a food mill to remove the skins and what remains of the ginger. Pour your pear sauce into a 1 pint glass jar and store in the refrigerator to enjoy over the next few weeks.
