Pear Preserve recipe needed

[lisas3575]

Does anyone have a great pear preserve recipe? My grandmother used to make it when I was growing up... seems like it had orange in it too. Sound familiar? Thanks!

Bump.

I am sorry I don't have one, but did a search for you and found this one. You could use orange rind instead of lemon if you prefer. Hope this helps. :)

Pear Preserve Recipe


1 pound pears, peeled, cored, cut in halves or whole
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 lemon, sliced thin


Boil the water and sugar until it coats a spoon. Add the pears and lemon and boil slowly and gently until the pears are tender and transparent. Place pears in sterilized jars, pour over them the boiling syrup, and seal. Put covers on the jars and adjust the clamps. Do not wipe the syrup from the tops or rubber rings before sealing. Bacteria may be introduced by wiping.


Place the sealed jars back in the wash boiler, cover with hot water to 6 to 8 inches above the tops of the jars, bring to boiling point and let boil for 20 minutes for pint size jars and 30 minutes for quart size jars. The jars must be filled full.
