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.
