Instructions
- Prepare the jars: Sterilize the jars and screw caps by boiling them or rinsing them with hot water to ensure long-lasting storage.
- Prepare the pears: Peel the pears, quarter them, remove the core, and finely chop them to weigh 500 g.
- Chop the onions: Peel the red onions and finely dice them.
- Mix the ingredients: In a large pot, combine the diced pears, onion, vinegar, apple juice, curry, chopped rosemary, and gelling sugar well.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously, and let it cook for at least 5 minutes while occasionally stirring. Make sure the pears remain firm.

Notes
Use ripe, juicy pears for the best flavor, and stir regularly to prevent burning.
