Recipe Clipping For Pear Preserves

PEAR PRESERVES

3 cups sugar
2 cups water
8 cups peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped pears

Combine sugar and water in a large Dutch oven; bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves.

Cook at a rolling boil 5 minutes. Add pears and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until pears are transparent.

Quickly spoon pears into hot sterilized jars. If necessary, boil syrup 3 to 5 minutes longer or until thickened. Pour over fruit, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Cover at once with metal lids, and screw metal bands tight. Process in boiling-water bath 10 minutes.

Yield: about 7 cups.

I’ve never had a written recipe, mine was oral and passed down from my mother. I tried this recipe, and it worked really well. I added a few minutes to the cook time because the pears were extra “juicy”. Try it for an old time treat!
