Directions: |
Directions: Bring to a
boil and reduce heat to just keep hot.
Peel, core and slice your pears in half. Cut
out any bruised areas.
Place peeled and sliced pears into an citric
acid solution. This commercial product
prevents browning. Follow the directions
on the package. Or use a lemon juice and
water mixture.
I prefer the lemon juice just because I
usually have lemon juice on hand. I
believe the recommendation is 3/4 cup to
1 gallon water... but I almost never need a
gallon of pretreatment. I use 1 cup lemon
juice to 2 quarts water... it is stronger than
needed but my pears always stay nice and
bright.
I've also seen it suggested simply slicing
the pears directly into the jars and adding
lemon juice to the jars. 2T for a quart. I've
not done this but I may try it next time.
When you have enough pears prepared,
drain and add pears to your hot syrup.
Cook pears 5-6 minutes in your syrup.
Just enough to heat through. You don't
want to overcook but a hot pack works
best with pears.
Using a slotted spoon, pack hot pears into
hot jars.
Cover with the same syrup you cooked in,
leaving a 1/2 inch head space.
Wipe the rims clean, remove any air
bubbles and place your lids.
Water bath canner: Put the sealed jars in the canner and keep them cover with at least 1 inch of water and boiling. Boil them for at least 20 minutes (and no more than 30 min).
Number Of Servings: 9 pints
Personal Notes: Syrup recipes
Prepare light or medium syrup. I prefer light syrup. Simply heat water and sugar in
a sauce pan until sugar dissolves. These recipes made just the right amount for 9
pints. Make extra if you are doing more.
ultra light 1/2 cup sugar to 5 cups water
Light - 2 cups sugar to 1-quart water
Medium - 3 cups sugar to 1-quart water
You can also make a syrup with honey if you don't want to use processed sugar.
light - 1 1/2 cups honey to 4 cups water
medium - 2 cups honey to 4 cups water
Add in 1 tsp vanilla if desired. |
