Pear Preserves image

In the fall we would go to our farm and pick pears and apples. Then we'd build a campfire and roast hot dogs. Later we'd all get together and make big batches of these tasty preserves. -Tammy Watkins, Greentop, Missouri

I had some trouble finding the right kind of pears. I ended up using Bartlett pears and they worked well.

These preserves are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of pears, but I love these preserves. They're sweet and tart, and the texture is perfect. I love spreading them on toast or crackers.

These preserves are a great way to use up leftover pears. I always have a few pears that are about to go bad, so I make a batch of preserves and they're always delicious.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pears. But I'm so glad I did! These preserves are amazing. The pears are cooked perfectly and the syrup is to die for. I've already eaten half the jar!
