Transfer the pears to a food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a sieve, pushing it through with the back of a metal spoon. Discard the remnants in the sieve and transfer the pear puree back to the saucepan. Stir in the sugar. Bring to boil, then keep on a medium heat for 1hr.
Divide the mixture between sterilised glasses, seal with a lid and label with the date.
