Directions In a stockpot, combine pears, sugar, water and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Place jars into canner, ensuring that they are completely covered with water.
So, how to make Pear Preserves? In a large stockpot, stir the pears, sugar, water and lemon juice; to combine. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, for 1½ -2 hours until mixture thickens and has a spreadable consistency.
Pear preserves made easy as pie by using your slow cooker! Heavenly, low-sugar, and delicious. Plain and simple! Using a slow cooker liner if you’ve got one, add all the ingredients to a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir to incorporate. Turn the slow cooker on high and place the lid on halfway. Forget about the preserves for 8-10 hours.
2) I did not use sugar. At all. In many canning recipes, sugar acts as a preserving agent, however in canning peachesand pears, it is just for sweetness, which allows us to safely omit it. You can use honey if you like, but my pears were delectably sweet already, so I didn’t want to muddy the crisp pear flavor.
