    Good video, only thing i do that the old timers taught me, we had a stick of some sort that we would put down in the middle and sides after filling the jar with liquid to make sure no air was trapped under a pear or whatever we are canning . Happy canning !

    Thank you for the video! I was wondering about the sugar to water ratio and I really appreciate your tip on the microwave!!! This will be our first successful harvest if we can get them to the end of this month, sometimes we pay a high wildlife tax.👍 Thank you again.

    What can I say CL? A young guy canning? Really didn't know what to expect....and look at you. You just taught an old dog new tricks. You did! What a GREAT job! You prolly didn''t know it but we have this pear tree that never fails. (Knock on wood.) Delivers a dozen to 15 buckets of pears each year. We have been selling them to get rid of them. This year, things being what they are I thought to brush up on pear canning. One impediment was peeling the darn things. I guess we're slow. Only caught up to blanching tomatoes a couple or three years ago. And now look...pears too. Why didn't I think of that? That is the key here, really. Well done! And you provided some other tips to really home in on the perfect jar. You ARE the man. Liked and subscribed!

  • @Chris-ib5ht
    @Chris-ib5ht 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If you shave the skins off instead you can use them to make vinegar. Make sure they're cleaned then put them in a jar and poor in just enough water to cover them and add some sugar. Cover it with a cloth or coffee filter (try to stir once a day) and after a couple of weeks you'll have pear vinegar. Minimum work and you save scraps for another product you can both eat and clean with

      Thank you. I use a half cup of sugar to two cups of water. Heat the water to dissolve and use as needed. As for unripe pears, I am not sure how they will taste when canned. Essentially they are cooked in the water bath canner. I would just wait until they ripen a bit. That should only take a few days.

      Leaving head space is important because the food and water expand when boiled. If they are too full, the food may be forced out or the lids won't seal. It also helps create the vacuum when the jar cools. If you boild over 30 minutes they will turn to mush.
