This is a really good recipe-feel free to add another 1/2 tbsp ginger if you like. Ingredients:
5 1/2 cups pears, peeled and finely chopped |
2 large limes |
2 1/3 cups white sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons grated gingerroot |
Directions:
1. After you have peeled and chopped the pears you want 5 1/2 cups.
2. Using a zester remove green rind from limes; you want 1 T.
3. Squeeze the limes to get 1/3 cup.
4. Place pears, rind and juice in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan.
5. Stir in ginger root and sugar.
6. Bring fruit to a full boil stirring constantly.
7. Do this until it reaches the gel stage, around 15 minutes.
8. If desired mash the fruit.
9. Ladle into sterile hot jars leaving 1/4 inch head space.
10. Seal and process 5 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet.
