Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 4 Quarts Pears, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 2 cups Pineapple juice (organic)
  • 4 cups Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice

Instructions
 

Preparing the pear honey

  • Heat the chopped pears, pineapple juice, sugar, and lemon juice in a large stock pot over medium heat.
  • Simmer, stirring often for 30 minutes or until the pears begin to soften.
  • Using the immersion blender, puree the pears to a smooth texture.
  • Continue to simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the pear puree develops a golden color and begins to thicken and gel slightly.

Canning

  • Wash all of the jars, lids, and rings in hot soapy water.
  • Fill the water bath and bring to a boil.
  • Using a funnel, ladle the pear honey into the jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace at the top of the jars. Run the bubble popper through the jars to release any trapped air and adjust the quantities if needed.
  • Wipe the rims of each jar with a clean dry paper towel.
  • Place the lids on the jars and tighten the rings fingertip tight.
  • Using the jar lifter, place the jars into the boiling water bath.
  • Cover the water bath and process the jars for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the water bath to a towel lined cutting board. Leave the jars untouched for 12 hours. Label and date the jars and store. If any jars do not seal, refrigerate and use first.
