(enough to make a gallon of sliced pears)
4 cups of sugar
optional: 1 T. of cinnamon candies/red hots
Directions:
Directions:
Stir the pears and sugar together in a heavy 5 quart pan. Let this mixture stand overnight.
Place pears and sugar on a medium stove. If you want to try it with cinnamon candies, stir those in now. Cook at a medium boil until the mixture thickens. Stir only enough to keep the pears from sticking to the pan. Pour into sterilized jars and seal.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Grandma Edge always had these pear preserves in her pantry and served them at breakfast with biscuits. I don't remember ever seeing any other sort of jelly at her house. She must have had a pear tree, but I don't remember that either! This is good old fashioned Heavener cooking, the kind my Dad was raised on.
