How to Make Honey And Spice Pears
- Wash, peel, core, and halve the pears.
- In a large 4-6 quart kettle, combine the water, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and allspice.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the honey.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Gently add the pear halves to the simmering syrup, ensuring they are mostly submerged.
- Cook, turning the pears occasionally, until they are almost tender but still hold their shape (about 5-7 minutes).
- Carefully ladle the hot pears and syrup into the sterilized pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace at the top of each jar.
- Remove any air bubbles by running a non-metal utensil around the inside of the jar.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth.
- Place the lids and rings on the jars, tightening fingertip-tight.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (adjust time based on your altitude – consult a reliable canning guide for specific altitude adjustments).
- Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. Check for proper sealing by pressing down on the center of each lid; if it doesn't flex, it's sealed.
