  • Any good recipes for preserving pears?

    Hi all
    The title says it.
    I got some gorgeous little pears from a harvest festival the other day, and I wanted to do some pear preserves, but cant really find a good one or two online.
    Maybe a pickle or jam??
    Can anyone share a good tried and tested one please?
    Thank you

    From the best preserve book I have ever come across - Fruits of the Earth (gloria Nicol)
    PEAR AND VANILLA JAM...unbelievably good.

    2lb4oz pears peeled, cored, cut into chunky slices
    jiuce of 2 lemons
    1lb 10oz sugar
    1 vanilla pod

    pears in bowl with lemon juice
    sprinkle over sugar and add 200 ml water
    slice vanilla pod and scrape out seeds, Mix in the seeds and tuck in the pods
    COVER THE BOWL OVERNIGHT FOR THE SUGAR TO SOAK EVERYTHING UP

    Next day, pour contents into a preserving pan and stir!! on a low heat until sugar has dissolved. Turn up the heat rapidly until you have reached setting point. The pear pieces should be transculent, You should now take out the pod pieces.

    Transfer into hot sterilized jars (3 x 1lb jars should do).

      Hi Moola
      Thanks for the recipe, sounds nice, but wanted to double check its only 4oz of pears? if so, it must be very sweet?!

              1kg Pears
              1 1/2 kg Tomatoes
              2kg Brown sugar
              250g Sultanas
              250g seedless raisans
              1 litre cider vinegar - use 750ml at the beginning and add more if necessary
              1 tbl spoon salt
              teaspoon each of mace or nutmeg, cayenne pepper, ground cloves, black pepper and ground ginger.

              Chop all fruit, add all ingredient to a very large pan, bring slowly to the boil and simmer until done.
