Pear Preserves Recipe: UGA's 'So Easy To Preserve'

My mother's pear preserves recipe came from the UGA Extension, modified with a lemon slice per jar. For safe, tested recipes, get the "So Easy To Preserve" book and DVD from UGA (setp.uga.edu). It has 185 tested recipes with step-by-step instructions for canning success.

Follow the book exactly—listen for the "ping" of sealing jars.
