Pear Preserves image

In the fall we would go to our farm and pick pears and apples. Then we'd build a campfire and roast hot dogs. Later we'd all get together and make big batches of these tasty preserves. -Tammy Watkins, Greentop, Missouri

I'm not a fan of the texture of these preserves. I prefer a smoother consistency.

I'm allergic to pears, but I can still enjoy these preserves because they're made with apples.

I've never been a big fan of pear preserves, but these are really good. The flavor is subtle and not too sweet.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my preserves turned out too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These preserves are a bit tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try adding a little more sugar next time.

These pear preserves are simply divine! The balance of sweetness and tartness is perfect, and the texture is out of this world. I've never had anything like it before.
