Putting Up Pear Preserves

[@69telecasterplayer]

Me again. I just watched this again because I have a loaded tree this year and plan to begin preserving them in a few days using your method.

[@69telecasterplayer]

Love your presentation style and your respect for procedures and guides.

[@PecanCorner]

Thank you very much. I appreciate you letting me know. Have a great weekend! :-) Tina

[@jenniferhoward326]

With our sweet neighbors gifting us the bounty of their pear tree I have been looking for some easy ways to put them up for later. Thanks for making this lovely video full of information and references to tested methods. have a blessed day!

[@PecanCorner]

jennifer howard Oh boy! What a nice thing for your neighbors to do! So glad you could use the video, and I hope your preserves are as much fun to make as they are to eat :-) Tina

[@69telecasterplayer]

I used this one year for my pears and they were great. Using again today. God bless you.

[@annhaynesparker]

I just finished canning pear relish from my grandmother's recipe, which I updated, and I could have been watching myself, with the new lid-grabber, the too-hot-to handle jars, and the wiping off of edges with wet paper towels. I actually told my husband that the popping sound of sealing jars is one of the best sounds in the world! Today is pear preserve day, a recipe from my other grandmother, so I'm glad I found your video, especially since I'm using about the same amount of pears. THANKS

[@PecanCorner]

Oh how fun!!! You are so fortunate to have their recipes and those memories. And to have pears to can! Here's to many days of delightful enjoyment of all these delicious jars. :-) Tina

[@cathyslaton9998]

Sounds good

[@NovaScotiaLiving]

Great video. My mom in law is coming up today with a bunch of pears to help her peal. We are going to can some too. This is very helpful. Thanks for sharing

[@PecanCorner]

How cool! I hope you all had fun putting the up. I love pears! :-) Tina

[@stonestalker1590]

Well I've been using this recipe for 3 years now. I simmer mine with sliced habinero peppers. Im addicted to the kick they have. Pears were a lil ripe this go around and yeah it looks like I hit wm with the blender lol. Still turned out awesome 👌 😎 👏 Thank you for sharing

[@MouseToes]

Beautiful in the jar, LOVED hearing the ping too! You have a fabulous kitchen!

[@PecanCorner]

Aw thank you so much! You are so sweet! Those sealing jars are music to our ears :-)

[@marygreene5584]

Used this recipe several years ago and just peeled 17c of pears. I'm sure these will be just as good as before. I plan on putting them in gift bags this year. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you.

[@haroldpigg4923]

I'm about to make my first pear preserves. Thanks for showing me how !!!

[@aprilsanchez9240]

Thank you so much... The neighbor has shared their pears with me, and after canning one batch, she asked me if I made preserves, and said she added sugar and left them over night and then baked them... This, I think, is close enough to make her smile... She's old enough, now, that she would never do this for herself and her husband anymore... Cheers!

[@PecanCorner]

Oh what a lovely story. Thank you so much for sharing it with me... it has made me smile too. You and your neighbor sound like you are both blessed... one of the great joys of life is to have a good neighbor. Happy Sunday! :-) Tina

[@OurBucketListHasHoles]

Hi Tina. Great video 😊 My apple and pear trees are only about 3 years old. I got my first Apple this year whoot, whoot. I was excited. Thanks for sharing this. I'm adding it to my canning videos and sharing it also. I wish my kitchen was as well organized as yours. It's beautiful Tina.

[@PecanCorner]

Hi Debbie! YAY Congrats on your apple! I know the feeling - it is so exciting when something finally starts producing! May it have a bumper crop next year. :-) Thank you re my kitchen - my son built the cabinets for me and we tiled the countertops together. I am proud of it. It is very small - my lower cabinets and closets and pantries are crammed full to keep the counters clear LOL Looking forward to more videos from you :-) Have a wonderful day! Tina

[@Bigdogplantation]

This was great video. You explain it well and make it look so easy! Thank you!

[@PecanCorner]

Thank you Leah! I hope you enjoy your pears. Have a great Sunday. :-) Tina

[@moblackbird]

I love pear preserves too! Fig preserves are my other favorite. My stepmother in Tennessee used to make wild pear preserves every year. She called them "deer pears" since they would come up to eat them off the trees. They were a small pear and delicious.

[@PecanCorner]

moblackbird Oh fig preserves are the best too (both best LOL). I guess I am going to have to plant a fig tree because they grow well here. We can't get them fresh in the stores. Interesting about wild pears... we didn't have those in Oklahoma and I haven't heard of them in Texas - although old pear trees are often found on old home sites where the house is long gone.Deer do love anything sweet, they ate half my peaches this year! :-) Tina

[@moblackbird]

I think Flo (my stepmother) said that those pear trees had just come up on their own, mostly around the hedgerows. They were on property that had been in her family for a long time, so probably they had pear trees planted originally. When I first moved to Texas the house I lived in had a huge fig tree in the back yard. Wish I'd known about canning back then--the birds always got them before I could.

[@lindajohnson2950]

Thank you so much! I have been gifted with pears and thought I should wait for them to ripen. You were the only one I found that covered that clearly. I'm glad I didn't start until I found you! I believe you are making them the way my mother in law did. I guess my husband's taste test will confirm if I'm right. Lol!

[@PecanCorner]

Hi Linda, So sorry for the delay in replying - I just now saw your comment. I hope your pears turned out great! Happy Thanksgiving :-) Tina

[@lindajohnson2950]

[@robertvelicky3677]

Great video, I really enjoy it, God Bless you!

[@jamiepark888]

Thank you for saying you need hard pears as other videos didn’t mention that. I have bunch of ripe pears and they probably would’ve dissolved.

[@PecanCorner]

You're welcome...it is always a rush to get the pear preserves up before they get too soft. Your pears will make delicious Pear Honey or Pear Relish though! :-) Tina

[@susanryman9948]

I add whole cloves and I slice a lemon as this as possible and then quarter them. Perfection.

[@PecanCorner]

That sounds delicious! Thanks for the tip!

[@69telecasterplayer]

Good morning. I used your method on some of my Kiefer pears. Worked great! I used our device that peels, slices and cores. Worked great on these hard pears.

[@PecanCorner]

Oh good! Boy, you are fortunate to have something to peel those hard pears with! LOL! I usually like peeling fruit but pears are a bit of a pain. My stepmother is canning pears "as we speak". She offered me some but I still have a lot from last year so had to decline, sadly. Tina

Hi, Thank you very much. Have a great Sunday! :-) Tina

[@jameswhite826]

My pears are early this year, so I am going to do them right away. I didn't know that altitude came in square feet.

[@sandrastar8141]

Hi I was gifted a big batch of pears today can i make jelly out of the cores and peelings? great video the instructions were clear and to the point

[@PecanCorner]

+Sandra Star Hi there! Yum, your idea sounds good. I have never made pear jelly so cannot tell you how to do it, but I hope you will share your results so we can all learn! Thanks so much for commenting. :-) Tina

Can I add lemon juice to a bowl of water to do the same thing?

[@jeannemiller306]

@@lhorne4808 I use lemon juice,

[@lhorne4808]

My pears are ready now, so I'll be sure to pick, peel, and preserve this week! I'm trying to get them before the deer and squirrels eat them all.

[@barbarainnc8165]

I just made pear preserves today, 12 c of chopped pears, 4 c sugar. Cooked them and only got 3 pints. You got 7.

[@TheLindakay]

How long does it take for the jars to pop?

[@PecanCorner]

Hi, They don't always make a sound when they seal but they should all be sealed within 24 hours. Any that don't seal I put in the fridge to use immediately, or in the freezer. :-) Tina

[@amberlilly4101]

Thank you!!

Please next time turn down the radio in background very annoying thank-you. Otherwise I loved video.

[@PecanCorner]

+Aaron Walker Thanks for the "feedback" (an old radio pun :-) ) I appreciate knowing what will help me make better videos. :-) Tina

thankyou for the pear preserve recipe you make it look so easy! however , the background noise was just too much for me!

Hi Anne, Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it. This was one of my earlier videos. We have also since gotten a better camera. Have a lovely weekend :-) Tina

[@gloriacraddock6279]

Turn that TV down, so we can hear what you are saying.

[@angelabland007]

It's very hard to hear what your saying. My volume is turned uo all the way. Maybe next time get closer to the microphone.

[@superbizee1]

Loved your video except that radio playing. Please make more of the canning videos or recipes. Thank you!

[@susanmecredy6831]

I think I could really enjoy this video but the radio or TV going on makes it hard to concentrate on your words.
