I made pear butter and mandarin oranges last year.....made a simple syrup and they turned out fab....I have a pear tree I found last fall and omg I will being trying this, this fall.....I wish I could have picked more but I got 2 walmart sacks full
Love, pears, love, pear, butter pressure canning them water bath pressure canning for pear pie that I make or pear bread. I also add cinnamon to some batches and other savory and sweet spices. It’s a lot of work but it’s fun.
The easiest way is to go buy a box of Sure-Jell and get the fold out recipe guide out of the box and follow it. That thing has recipes for everything from jelly to relish and EVERY box of Sure-Jell has a copy. It's easy and fun!
I haven't got all that fancy gear, just the Mason jars, can I still preserve stuff with normal kitchen stuff? Could you do a demo for the people just dipping their toes into canning?
Just use the largest pot you have. Make sure you put a folded up towel in the bottom of your pot so your mason jars aren't directly on metal. The towel floats, so use your filled jars to hold it down. Use a knife or peeler & hand peel tour pears. Hope this helps. Gadgets are nice & save time, but they're not a necessity. ❤
It’ll take a helluva lot longer without the pressure cooker. And it’ll be a lot harder to open the jars later with normal lids. Canning stuff can often be bought second hand.
I javelin 5 pear trees, and I'm looking at this without instructions. What are you soaking the pears in? Also, are you making syrup to put in this? I'm genuinely curious, so I may learn a bit.
Water with lemon juice to prevent browning. That's a simple sugar syrup. You can make a syrup at different levels of sugar, depending on preference or diet restrictions.
You can still blitz the skin and put the pulp into any recipe from curry to porridge to cakes. You still get the fiber.. waste nothing.... then it's easier to see if there's any bacteria or growth in your jars without it clouding everything
Am I jealous of your automatic peeler ? Why yes, yes I am 🤣
I have the hand cranked type. My husband would peel a bushel of apples for canned pie filling.
I canned some pears using pineapple juice as the liquid and they were amazing! Really turned up the sweetness factor!
Did the pears have a pineapple taste?

Wonderful! Point in the direction of beginning to learn about canning please
There’s a Ball Canning Book. Ball are the gurus. They know their shit and have been doing it for a VERY long time.

Now I can do that. I’m just scared of pressure cookers.

What do you do with the peels?
Would this work with Asian pears?
So, are you sterilizing the jars first? Is that what I saw?
I need a pellet like that where to buy
Can you do it without simple sugar?
No.
@@geekchick4859 why?
This makes me sad because the most nutritious part of fruit (and many vegetables) is the skin!
It’s also really yummy

Puree for baking or simmer the skins to make a jelly.
