PEAR PRESERVES
Steps:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and the water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the pears and decrease the heat to low. Simmer until the pears are tender and transparent, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a rack to cool. Cover and let rest overnight in a cool place, up to 24 hours.
- Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Sterilize five 1-pint canning jars and lids in boiling water, following the manufacturer's instructions (or see Boiling-Water Canning, page 279). Remove the jars from the water and place upside down to drain on the prepared rack. Remove the lids from the water and dry with a clean towel. Turn the sterilized jars right side up on the rack, using tongs or a kitchen towel to protect your hands. When they are cool enough to handle, dry them with a clean towel. Set aside.
- Remove the pears from the syrup. Fill the hot jars according to the procedure for Raspberry Jam (page 289), and pour over the hot syrup, leaving 1/4 inch of headroom. Process the jars in a boiling-water canner for 20 minutes. Store the unopened jars at room temperature for up to 1 year. Once the jars are opened, store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

- For refrigerator preserves, skip the boiling-water canner and refrigerate for up to 1 month.
PEAR PRESERVES
This is a simple recipe and posted per recipe request. The recipe doesn't state if you should peel and core the pears before cooking them, I would definitely not skip this step, I think the pear peels would make some pretty gritty preserves.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm pears for canning. Overripe or bruised pears will not hold their shape well and may become mushy during processing.
- Peel and core the pears before cooking. This will help to remove any blemishes or imperfections and make the preserves more visually appealing.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the pears into thin, even pieces. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too soft.
- Add sugar, water, and lemon juice to the pears and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the pears are tender and the syrup has thickened. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the type of pears you are using.
- Remove the pears from the syrup and let them cool slightly. Then, transfer them to a clean glass jar and seal tightly. The preserves can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
