List of Ingredients





Makes about 5 half-pints

3 pounds canning pears

2 quarts water

2 teaspoons salt

5 cups sugar

Peel and core the pears. Put the pears in a large glass or plastic bowl. Combine the water and salt and pour over the pears. Soak for one hour. Drain.

Measure out 8 cups of the pears and combine with the sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is a dark golden brown and has the consistency of honey, 1 ½ to 2 hours.

Sterilize jars according to manufacturer's directions. Pour the hot pear preserves into the hot sterilized jars, wipe the rims with a damp cloth and fit with the lids. Let cool to room temperature. Store in a cool dark place
