INGREDIENTS 3 cups raw sugar 1 cup water 12-20 firm pears, peeled, cored and sliced thinly (16 cups or 4 quarts of sliced pears) 1 lemon, thinly sliced and seeded DIRECTIONS Over medium-high heat, bring sugar and water to a boil in a large saucepan. When sugar is completely dissolved, gently stir in sliced pears and lemon. Reduce heat to low, so that small bubbles are visible. Cook uncovered for 4-8 hours, until pears are translucent and syrup is thickened. Serve immediately or jar and process for storage. Copyright © 2012 Stefanie Samara Hamblen |
