Home-Style Pear Sauce

This sauce is a wonderful gift for the holidays. Some years I give them all away and have none for myself. Also you may want to change the amount of sugar depending on your taste.

Courses: Sauces

Recipe Ingredients

9 lbs 4086g / 144ozBartlett pears - peeled, cored
  And sliced
1 cup 237mlWater
3/4 cup 148g / 5.2ozSugar
2 tablespoons 30mlLemon juice
1 teaspoon 5mlGround cinnamon - (to 2) - (optional)

Recipe Instructions

Combine pears, water and lemon juice in a heavy bottomed 8-quart pan. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until soft, stirring often (about 30 minutes). Add sugar and cinnamon, bring to a boil. If too chunky put it thru a food mill.

Fill prepared hot jars with hot sauce, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Gently run a narrow nonmetallic spatula between sauce and jars to release air bubbles. Wipe rims clean; top with hot lids, then firmly screw on bands.

Process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes for pints, 20 minutes for quarts.

This recipe yields 4 pints or 2 quarts.
