List of Ingredients



• 8 cups chopped or coarsely ground peeled pears (about 5½ pounds)
  
• 4 cups sugar
  
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• ¼ tsp ground cloves
  






Instructions



1. Combine all ingredients in a Dutch oven. Simmer, uncovered, for 1½ to 2 hours or until thick, stirring occasionally. Stir more frequently as the mixture thickens.
   
   
2. Remove from the heat; skim off foam. Carefully ladle into hot half-pint jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles; wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
   
   Makes 6 half-pints.
