How to Make Pear Preserves
- Peel, core, and slice 2 pounds ripe but firm pears.
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar and 2 cups water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Boil for 15 minutes.
- Add the sliced pears and the juice of 1 lemon. Cook gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Stir in 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the pears are translucent and the syrup has thickened to a jelly-like consistency (about 30-40 minutes). The preserves should sheet off a spoon.
- Carefully ladle the hot pear preserves into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specific instructions).
