Answer 2

Pear Preserves
Serves/Makes: 10

Ingredients:
4 pounds pears (whole, halved or quartered)
4 cups water
4 cups sugar
2 lemons sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

Boil 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water together for 15 minutes. Add pears and sliced lemon and cook 15 minutes. Add remaining sugar and water and cook until pears are clear and transparent and syrup is thick.
Pack into clean, sterile hot Ball jars and seal at once. (of course any brand of jar will work. that also need to be Boiled in a Water Bath for 5 minutes)

Pear Preserves

3 cups sugar, divided
3 cups water
6 medium-sized ripe pears, peeled and cored (about 2 pounds)
1 medium lemon (thinly sliced -- about 1/2 cup)
Roughly chop the pears into approximately 3/4-inch pieces.

Combine 1-1/2 cups of the sugar and all the water in a large kettle or sauce pot. Cook rapidly for 2 minutes. Add pears and boil gently for 15 minutes. Add the remaining sugar and lemon, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook rapidly until pears are transparent (about 25 minutes). Cover and let stand overnight or at least 12 hours in a cool place.

With a slotted spoon, remove pears from the cooking liquid (syrup). Pack pears into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Bring the syrup to a boil and boil gently for 3 to 5 minutes, or longer if too thin. Pour the hot syrup over pears in the jars, maintaining 1/4-inch head space. Adjust caps on jars. Process 20 minutes in a boiling water bath. Makes about 5 half pints.

hope these help. enjoy.
