I will be pureeing the (canned) pears, putting in mustard powder, adding a little Pear infused balsamic venegar and some white wine. My other mustards I don't need to keep refrigerated since they use dried friend (if any), no dairy, vinegar and/or wine but haven't made this before and am uncertain if I have to keep it cool for safety's sake.

It's my understanding that pear mustard uses a form of preserved pears as an ingredient (like quince paste or concentrated apple butter, or fruit leather, only made from pears). For that reason, between the [comparative] lack of water in the pear product, you shouldn't need to refrigerate the finished mustard.

Making it with canned pears, I'm not sure if that's the case.
