Cover with a clean tea towel and cool to room temperature before transferring to a clean container or jar with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. A thicker consistency can be achieved by hanging the cream in a muslin lined sieve over a bowl to release excess whey.

HINTS AND TIPS

- Pear can be replaced by apple. Depending on the sweetness of the pears, adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup
