Recipe Canning Pears Amish Cooking Canning Recipes

Select ripe pears just turning yellow, not too soft. Peel, core, and cut in halves. Drop in cold water. When you have enough to fill several jars, take out of water and pack in jars. Pour syrup or juice over pears. When you have enough jars to fill a canner put on lids that have been sterilized in hot water and put on bands. Place in rack in canner and add enough hot water to cover the jars with 2 inches of water. Cold pack for 20 minutes in boiling water. Turn off heat and let cool 10 minutes or longer away from a draft.

Prepare a medium syrup or use 1 large can of Dole pineapple juice mixed with 1/2 can of water instead of syrup.
