Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture forms a syrupy consistency. |
| 2 | Carefully add the peeled, cored, and sliced pears along with the sliced lemons into the simmering syrup. Let them cook for another 15 minutes, ensuring they soften and absorb the flavors of the syrup. |
| 3 | Gradually stir in the remaining sugar and water into the saucepan. Continue cooking until the pears turn clear and transparent, and the syrup thickens to your desired consistency. This typically takes about 30 minutes. Keep an eye on the mixture, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. |
| 4 | Once the pear mixture reaches the desired thickness and clarity, it’s time to preserve the goodness! Pack the hot preserves into clean, sterilized jars, leaving a bit of headspace at the top. Seal the jars tightly. |
Enjoy the fruits of your labor by spreading these delightful Pear Preserves on toast, biscuits, or even as a topping for yogurt or ice cream! This recipe is perfect for gifting or storing to savor the taste of fresh pears all year round. 🌳🍯
