I have never seen the syrup made like that! Looks a LOT easier then pouring a hot simple syrup. Also,it’s new to me to start COLD jars and canning water. Thank you!
I appreciated your post dearly, and for keeping the pear skins on, since it seems too many people peel off an excellent source (skins specifically) of fiber and antioxidants.
I really enjoyed listening to you talk all about the process and repeating some key points throughout the video. I must have listened to this 4 times while I was coring and cutting my pears getting ready to can them for the first time. We also have a wild pear tree in our yard, and the pears look identical to yours. Wish I knew what kind they were. They're very juicy and sweet. Really good pears, imo. We've lived here for 24 years, and this is the first time I've wanted to try to pick them all and can them. We've gotten at least 100 pears so far from this one little wild tree.
Thank u for this video i have a pear tree in my yard and now that i am learning how to can i can do that to save food for my family instead of them all going to waste thank u
I love your videos! I’ve been canning over 30 years and love learning easier ways to do things! I remember going from sterilizing jars in hot boiling water in an un-air conditioned 1800’s farmhouse on an old roper gas stove, to learning to sterilize them in the oven in 15 minutes…. I felt liberated after watching your green bean video! No more heating jars! 🙌🏼 Leave it to Uncle Sam to complicate things 😜🤔…. Anyway, I have a question… Do you know if honey can by used instead of sugar? We’re trying to get away from sugar as much as possible.
Yes, you can use honey, just beware that the canning process will destroy any beneficial components if using truly pure raw honey. It will still sweeten it just fine. Also note that most “pure honey” from a grocery store contains high fructose corn syrup despite not being on the label. There is no significance or guaranteed purity to commercial honey labeled as “pure”. Buy truly pure raw honey from a local beekeeper. From our beekeeping hearts to your health!
You can fill jars with clean raw berries, shaking gently while filling the jars. Add hot syrup to each jar leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Process jars in a water bath canner for 15 minutes (pints), 20 minutes (quarts). Adjust time as necessary for elevations >1,000 feet.
Thank you for this video! I am new to canning and am learning so much. I didn't know how to can pears..as they do not grow here. But now will be able to get some and can them! Your jars look beautiful and delicious!!!
Happy to hear you are learning this vital life skill. We’ve been home canning for 26 years now and love it! Please let us know how we can help you succeed with your new canning journey. We appreciate you watching!
Hi thanks for ALL your videos I so enjoy them. What brand of water bath canner are you using please I've never I never seen one with a see through lid. I love it thank you in advance for answering.
Hey There! Our water bath canners are Ball brand stainless steel water canners. We have 2 of them and upgraded from the traditional speckled ceramic coated canners several years ago (no regrets). They have heavy/thick bottoms and heat up faster while maintaining heat more consistently.
@@OutdoorsandCountryLiving Cool thank you for your reply and testimony of them. I'll start looking here of late I've not come across the old speckled ones even. My canners are one of my biggest regrets selling when we downsized.
@@thejaxson6222 we ordered the canners from Amazon a few years ago. I bet you do regret that decision, we would never want to be without any of our canners, especially in times like now. Hope you find one!
@@MarkCollier-h9o unfortunately, no. Apples have much more air in them than pears. See our video on how we can apples if interested. CANNING APPLES Recipe | Preserving Homestead Orchard Apples | Water Bath Canning ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_y4woo1Qa-M.html
@@twisterdude100 something to note: with apples, precook them in a simple syrup for about 5-10 minutes before jarring. Pack jars firmly. Apples are quite porous and will cause jars to float in the water bath if you don’t do this. We will be making a video on canned apples this week. Be sure to watch for it! This does work best with heavy fruits such as pears and peaches though.
Sugar is added to retain the natural sweetness of the fruit. Using only water will result in a less than desirable taste. You can process some with sugar and a few without to see for yourself what you like.
Here’s what we know: It’s literally called a wild pear (pyrus pyraster). Originated in Central Europe. It is considered an ancestral pear tree compared to other varieties. Known in the USA as a European wild pear.
Apples, no. They should be slightly pre-cooked or they’ll shrink significantly and you’ll wind up with half-filled jars once canned. Here’s a video that you may find useful on how we can apples.

@@johnc.wunscheljr2873 so they don’t rust over time and then they are very difficult to remove and useless. If you remove any moisture can evaporate off that’s under the ring and the rings last longer. The jar lids stay on from the seal and vacuum that’s is created in the jar as it cools. Hope this helps. Have a blessed week.
