Pear Preserves Recipe

very easy to make tastes fab maybe try with a lime as well next time. once pear was softened i mashed up with potato masher.

It tasted great, but was the consistency of juice. I'll have to experiment with pectin to see if we can recover it.

I followed the recipe exactly, without crushing the pears and it seemedto turn out well in consistency The pears were soft but not mushy with some liquid. Unfortunately, I found it much too sweet to my liking even with all the lemons in it. The pears I use are very sweet to begin with and I do not want to add too many lemons so that it tastes like sweet lemonade. I could not taste the pears only the sugar and lemons. I will try again if it can be made without so much sugary taste.Any other ideas?

Followed the receipe verbatim. 2 major problems, with one leading to the other. There is no statement about how high to set heat while cooking. In addition, there is no time reference as to how long to cook the pears, water, and sugar after adding the remaining sugar and water. The finished product never did become clear as stated in the instructions, but instead turned a caramel brown because the sugar and water caramelized. Haen't tasted the product yet, but the finished product doesn't look presentable at all in the jars.

I haven't tried the recipe yet, it took me forever to find a recipe. It was so nice to click on this site and the recipe be there without having to look or go further, thank you , there are those of us that are not as up on computers so keeping it simple is what we need. Thanks again and I will be back to visit your site again and use the recipe.
