Want to know how to peel pears easily for canning, dehydrating, or pies? This quick and easy way to peel pears is the ticket! Works best with ripe pears.
I realize it's been awhile since you posted this, but I just wanted to add my "thank you" to everyone else. I have 29 pounds of pears to peel and this will surely help.
I instantly subbed! I wanted to hide under my chair when I realized how long Ive spent peeling pears when I could have blanched them like I have always done for tomatoes! Geez....but A BIG OL THANK YOU to you for this info!
Wow I am so glad I watched this video! I had no idea you could do this with pears! I'm going to be canning pears pretty soon and I will definitely peel them this way! Thanks so much for sharing!
You are a life saver!!! So glad I found this video. I've got so many pears to can. Wasn't sure how the heck I was going to do it. I do now. Bless you for making this video!!!
Wish so badly that you were still making videos here on TH-cam. You're very knowledgeable and talked about good, common sense issues. I watched one video and subbed immediately. Then I saw how old your videos were and was so disappointed that you'd stopped. Maybe some day, you'll come back. God bless!
I love it. I have a pear tree, and it takes a LOT of effort to peel all that fruit for the freezer! While it is worth it for a winter's worth of pear desserts I do NOT like peeling a hundred pounds of pears in the Fall!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!! I considered not picking our pears because it was such a pain to peel them. Armed with this knowledge I will be canning a whole bunch.
Thanks for the tip. I see from some of the other comments that some varieties don't sluff off as well as others. I just picked about 30 pounds from my tree this morning so I'll try this and see if it works. It will save me a lot of time if it does. Thanks again.
I have been doing pears this way for over twenty years. I rub them like they are a bar of soap to get the skin off. When I told an elderly aunt how I did it she was flabbergasted! She and her husband had been peeling pears with a knife for canning for forty years. She commented on all the time they had wasted! lol
great, much like peeling off peaches....we bought some very green ones a week ago, and now would like to serve up for dessert tonight, Thanks this will really been great to do.
How did not ever hear of blanching pears?! So clever! I never get as many pears canned as I would like because of the time it takes to peel them all. Thank you so much!
Some varieties of pears blanch and peel better than others. We canned a different variety and I had to peel them all with a knife because the skins would not slip.
Food Storage and Survival these look like Bosc pears you’re working with. Is that correct? I’m planning to can a lot of them this weekend and I’d love to use this technique. Will try it out!
Thanks so much! I was wondering about this! I do tomatos and peaches this way, and was wondering if it would work for pears! My tree probably has about 200 pounds on it! I have Keiffer a. Hope it works! 🍐🍐🍐
Angela !!! Hello, good to hear your voice again. I thought you had moved to Kathmandu or something. I love these little quick hit helper videos. It is so easy once you know the secret. Thank you
Hey, Todd! It's just been a crazy fall, as fall usually is. Been busy with getting wood, pears, apples, hunts, and still making sure everyone is fed and dressed and off to all their activities every day. Add a writing project I've been working on and something had to give for a bit! Glad to share this little tip--it's a huge time saver!
Yep. I'm writing a book. It's actually my second, the first one is here: bit.ly/foodstoragebook But this new one's just an e-book for now. And are you as grossed out by deer as you are by fish? You're going to love my next video. ;-)
What am I doing wrong???? I have tried with 12 pears...and my pear skin is not "sluffing" off like yours at all!!! I tried to let them go longer, and my pears started turning brown :-( My water is not boiling, and my pears are ripe! Does the water need to be ice cold???

Thank you so much for this. I have 2 bushels of pears to can and this is going to save me so much work! God bless you
Thanks for sharing do not remember seeing before looks very simple.
Thank you! My mother always used a lye bath, then vinegar bath to neutralize the lye.
So good to find just hot water works as with peaches.
Thank you so much!! I considered not picking our pears because it was such a pain to peel them. Armed with this knowledge I will be canning a whole bunch.

Very helpful thanks
there can be so much waste when hand peeling, this is brilliant
How did not ever hear of blanching pears?! So clever! I never get as many pears canned as I would like because of the time it takes to peel them all. Thank you so much!

Good to know. I will test a couple when it is pear season and see what happens. Thanks!

never in 50 years I have ever tried blanching pears. Will definitely try this
Thanks so much! I was wondering about this! I do tomatos and peaches this way, and was wondering if it would work for pears! My tree probably has about 200 pounds on it! I have Keiffer a. Hope it works! 🍐🍐🍐
You genius!
Awesome! I just bought 10-11 lbs of pears to make preserves like my Mom made and wasn’t looking forward to peeling.
Lady u just saved me so much time
Glad to help! :)
Excellent 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I have 400lbs of fresh pears from my farm and this was a godsend lol
Does this work for the larger harder Bartlett pear?
Do you have any tips on canning Asian Pears?
nice

Food Storage and Survival You are writing a book!!!???!!!!
And I forgot -- you touch fish --- icky
Yep. I'm writing a book. It's actually my second, the first one is here: bit.ly/foodstoragebook But this new one's just an e-book for now. And are you as grossed out by deer as you are by fish? You're going to love my next video. ;-)
Food Storage and Survival Just the blood, the innards, and making sausage...
You're probably fine, then. It's just meat that still looks like a hind leg to start with. :-)
Tried this with Anjou pears- pears got soft under the skin but would not peel. Any suggestions?
I hope this works on Kefir pears as they are very hard. If successful this method will cut my time by two days
Mine will not do this! Any one had this happen before?:(
I have no idea why but this method isn't working for my pears. I had such high hopes to process the 75 lbs
Do you know an easy way to peel hard, unripe pears? This works great on ripe pears.
What am I doing wrong???? I have tried with 12 pears...and my pear skin is not "sluffing" off like yours at all!!! I tried to let them go longer, and my pears started turning brown :-( My water is not boiling, and my pears are ripe! Does the water need to be ice cold???
I had the same issue! I wonder if this technique only works for a specific kind of pear?
Does't work for me.
Didn’t work for me...I’m so sad!
*555
requires intense pressure and damages the quality a lot and it only works 30% from what i tested,
Why are we having trouble? Skin didn’t loosen at all 😒
I tried and pears didn't peel. Guess it only works on soft eating pears, not hard preserving pears.
Oh ok , thought someone mentioned Bradford, which is what we have 🤦🏻♀️
This method did not work at all. I used the same pears, same timing, the skins simply don't come off. Damn, it looked like it should work!
If the pears aren't ripe it won't work.
This was a waste of time. They stayed in the boiling water about 4 minutes. It didn't help at all.
DOES NOT WORK with Bosc Pears !!! Use a potato peeler.
