Categories     Pears

Time 50m

Yield 5 half-pint jars, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups pears, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 8 pears)
2 1/2 cups honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, finely diced (peel and all)
2 inches gingerroot

Steps:

  • Wash and sterilize 5 half-pint canning jars and rings.
  • Combine all ingredients except ginger root.
  • Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is of spreading consistency.
  • Spoon hot mixture into hot sterilized jars to within 1/2-inch from top.
  • Slice ginger root (no need to peel) into 5 slices. Add a slice of ginger to each jar, pushing it into the preserves.
  • Seal with new lids and rings and process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from water and listen for "ping" to make sure the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark spot. Let sit to age and get ginger flavor melded, for about 1-2 weeks before using.

I'm not a huge fan of pears, but I really enjoyed these preserves. The honey and ginger really balance out the pear flavor.

I made these preserves for the first time last week and they turned out wonderfully! The pears were perfectly tender and the ginger added a nice kick. I'll definitely be making them again.
