Pear Preserves


Serves: 5
Total Calories: 686

Ingredients

16 cups peeled, sliced pears
2 pounds (4 cups) sugar
juice of 1 lemon
2 cups water

Directions:

Place pears, sugar, and lemon juice in a large pot and add water. Cook over moderate heat until pears are tender and syrup is thick. ladle preserves into hot, sterilized half pint jars and seal. Process for 5 minutes in boiling water bath, if desired.

Note: I like to add about 3 drops of red food coloring to the syrup because it makes the pears look more appetizing.
