I have been canning this great pear sauce........and I keep eating it because I think it is so good. In case anyone has pears left.....here is a super simple recipe:
6 cups of pears; peeled, cored and chopped
3 Tbsp lime juice and zest of 2 or 3 limes...depending on how limey you like
1 Tbsp grated ginger
1.5 cups sugar
Combine everything in pot and bring to boil over medium heat until mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Continue cooking until pears have reached the desired consistency for your likes. I measure out the lime juice first and add it to the pot and then drop the sliced pears in as I go. The lime juice keeps the pears from turning brown.
Ladle sauce in hot jars and place in canner. Bring to boil and process 10 minutes........
