HOW TO PRESERVE PEARS

Here's what to do:

  • Wash and dry the pears thoroughly.
  • Peel the pears with a pairing knife or veggie peeler.
  • Trim off stems and slice each pear in half lengthwise.
  • Cut the pear in half again, this time removing the pits and core.
  • Place the cut pears in a bowl and toss with fresh lemon juice (which will prevent browning).

  • Cook pears in the syrup until soft. Separate into sterilized jars and follow the regular canning process.
