Ingredients:

  • 2 cups water
  • 6 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

  1. Wash the pears but do not peel or core them; slice pears into a heavy saucepan (at least 5-quart size).
  2. Add water, cover, and cook until tender (about 30 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and press the pears through a colander or a food mill.
  4. Measure the pear pulp (you should have about 8 cups) and return to the pan.
  5. Using a frying pan, heat 1 1/2 cups of the sugar, stirring until it melts and caramelizes to a medium brown color.
  6. Pour immediately into the pear pulp (the syrup will sizzle and harden, but dissolve again as the preserves cook).
  7. Add the remaining sugar, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger.
  8. Cook uncovered, until thick (about 45 minutes).
  9. Stir frequently as it begins to thicken to prevent it from sticking.
  10. Stir in lemon juice just before removing it from heat.
  11. Pour hot mixture into steralized 1/2 pint jars, put on lid, and crew band tightly.
  12. Process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
