About the Recipe

​

Ingredients

  • 8 cups chopped or coarsely ground peeled pears (about 5-1/2 pounds)

  • 4 cups sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Preparation

Step 1


In a Dutch oven, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until thick, 1-1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Stir more frequently as the mixture thickens.


Step 2


Remove from the heat; skim off foam. Carefully ladle into hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles; wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
