Fragrant Pear Preserves
I finally tackled my baskets of pears. I'm drying several sheets right now (you can hear the dehydrator, right? I sure can).
I also made two batches of pear preserves. To do this, I cut up a bunch of pears, added some sugar, a lot of chopped candied ginger, and the zest and juice of a lime. This smelled unbelievably good while it was cooking.

Those pear preserves sound lovely with the crystallised ginger, thanks for the tip.
I love Daisy's comment, I'll bet Cornelia will too.
They look beautiful and how funny that daisy should think that about Cornelia!

oh how lovely! those pears!
how long did you cook them for? recipe?? :)
Cute!! :)
elizabeth, I didn't use a recipe. I used about ten cups of finely chopped pear, about two cups of sugar, zest and juice of a lime, and half a cup of chopped candied ginger. That stays on the heat until it starts to sheet when dripped from a spoon, then goes into hot jars and undergoes a ten minute hot-water bath. Consult jam-making instructions for safety!!
