Canning pears is an adventure!
I think the worst part for me was pealing and seeding the pears. Took a LONG time!
I was lucky enough to have friends that have a pear tree so the cost out of pocket was the cost of jar lids. (thanks guys!)
I processed these in a pressure canner for 8 minutes at 5 lbs.
Lids- $.55 (6 lids)
Pears-FREE
Jars-FREE (thanks Mom! :)
Total Cost Out of Pocket-$.55 for 6 pints of Pears!
I also made Pear Sauce (put pears in crock pot until mushy and run through a food processor until the consistency you want) and
Pear Butter (put in crock pot, add spices and boil down (stirring occasionally) until the desired consistency that you want.
I froze the Pear Butter and Hot Water Bathed the Pear Sauce.
More on that later.
