Autumn pear cream, also known as pear honey cream, is a traditional drink in China. It is made of pears harvested in autumn as the main raw material and carefully boiled through many processes. Qiuli ointment is mellow, sweet but not greasy, and has unique pear fragrance and medicinal value. The production history of Qiuli cream can be traced back to the ancient court in China. It is said that Empress Dowager Cixi likes Qiuli Cream very much and thinks it is a good health care product. Therefore, autumn pear cream has also become one of the favorite drinks of the royal nobility.

Then add some ingredients such as rock sugar, red dates and ginger. Cook slowly over low heat until the pear pieces thicken. Finally, pour the cooked autumn pear paste into a clean container and let it cool before eating.
