Pretty Pear Preserves image

I found this recipe on the Oregon State University Extension Service website. I have updated the ingredients list and added in the juice of 1 lemon. Other than that didn't change a thing. These pears are a beautiful red and would make excellent gifts for family and friends.

These preserves are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my preserves turned out too runny. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

These preserves are a great way to use up extra pears. I always have a few pears left over from my tree and this is a great way to use them up.
