Canning Pears Made Simple! (Bonus: Easiest Way To Peel Pears) 

Good video, only thing i do that the old timers taught me, we had a stick of some sort that we would put down in the middle and sides after filling the jar with liquid to make sure no air was trapped under a pear or whatever we are canning . Happy canning !

Lol my sis just brought me 20lbs of pears for pear butter and, having just done a similar weight of cherries, was desperate for a shortcut. How funny that a video posted 4 years ago remains so helpful!

I blanche the Barlett pears, then rub the pears like you would a bar of soap under cold running water. A colander is in the sink to catch the skins that easily come off. It is really fast.

Thank you for your show it helped me a lot!

Thank you for sharing this! I love that your DIY Videos are simple, clear to understand,. and help us see each step by step. l have 2 big pear trees, and I'm going to try it out! Those canned pears look awesome!

The processing time for water bath canning depends on the altitude you live in. Please, check your canning book. Thanks.

😊 great news I have 2 pear trees

❤Great video! Love the idea of sterilizing jars in the microwave. Also appreciate the clear steps to blanching pears

What can I say CL? A young guy canning? Really didn't know what to expect....and look at you. You just taught an old dog new tricks. You did! What a GREAT job! You prolly didn''t know it but we have this pear tree that never fails. (Knock on wood.) Delivers a dozen to 15 buckets of pears each year. We have been selling them to get rid of them. This year, things being what they are I thought to brush up on pear canning. One impediment was peeling the darn things. I guess we're slow. Only caught up to blanching tomatoes a couple or three years ago. And now look...pears too. Why didn't I think of that? That is the key here, really. Well done! And you provided some other tips to really home in on the perfect jar. You ARE the man. Liked and subscribed! Your bestest fan in Alabam, Norm

Here I am two years after this video was made and I’m fixing to give it a go your way♥️ thank you!

TY…first time around we peeled our pears. Blanching will definitely make this second round faster & easier. Great idea to use melon baller.

Thank you for the video! I was wondering about the sugar to water ratio and I really appreciate your tip on the microwave!!! This will be our first successful harvest if we can get them to the end of this month, sometimes we pay a high wildlife tax.👍 Thank you again.

Great tip on over cooking the pears. Appreciate your help to learn how to do these. Will get some pears tomorrow hopefully. Jesus bless.

Very helpful, thank you, I’ve more pear trees than I know what to do with.

Your a great teacher!

I love the tip to remove the skins!💪

Oh man thank you so much for this video. Been on the fence bc all the pump and oil stuff was kinda scary😂 I’ll be subscribing for more on how to use this.

Thanks . This is the 3rd time I have done this and I am getting better at doing it. I tried a sample of them and they were delicious. I used the light syrup and that was enough for me. Now, I have pears all Winter long and I can give some to family and friends too.

I said I would subscribe to the first person who scalded their pears instead of peeling them... I am subscribed, with the notification bell on!

Thanks for sharing I have a bunch of pears and this is very helpful...peace and blissing to you.

Warm canned pears with vanilla ice cream and cinnamon and honey! Yes Please!

I love these types of how-to videos. So very helpful and you’re a very good teacher. The clock has me laughing though 😜

I will have to try this. In the past I used a potato peeler

I can a lot of peaches but have not tried pears. Will have to try this, thanks Eric.

That was brilliant thank you!

My Mom used to can pears when I was a Kid. But it seems like I remember she added a small amount of cinnamon to the sugar water as well.

Great information

Thank you for your informative video. 👍👍👍👍

I heard once I’ve reach processing time and I turn off my stove element I should wait an additional 5minutes to insure processing has completed and sealed is that true and thanks great video I went step by step and it was my first time doing pears let alone only my fourth time doing it all together complete so this was my fourth preserve thanks you made it very easy and followable Thankyou 😊

If you shave the skins off instead you can use them to make vinegar. Make sure they're cleaned then put them in a jar and poor in just enough water to cover them and add some sugar. Cover it with a cloth or coffee filter (try to stir once a day) and after a couple of weeks you'll have pear vinegar. Minimum work and you save scraps for another product you can both eat and clean with

Excellent video and it looks easy.......boy, I bet you wished you had said the amount of sugar in the water at the filming, lol lol, I see where many had that same question.............

I've never heard of sterilizing your jars in the microwave, where did you learn that? I've got many pears this year but they are pretty small and really don't want to peel each pear, I may try your technique.

Very helpful !

Thank you 🙏

Thanks Eric for the information. Question how do you prepared the sugar water?

thanx again..this is amazing...i wanna see more

Thank you mate

Good job!

When canning you always remove the air bubbles before placing the lid on!!!

if you use a round tomato huller rather than the melon baller, you can get the core out and the pointy sharp edge of the tomato huller can cut out the blossom end and areas of bruising etc..no need to change tools..one does it all

Thank you. Subscribed

Thanks for this. I really don't feel like peeling lots of pears. Blanching is so much easier.

Does anybody know this mixture for the sugar water ratio to can the pears ima new canner and want a light syrup. Ty

I need to help you upgrade that hat. so.. you live in Texas.. but sport that Michigan State hat? I Love pears!

Have a question about canning on flat top stove I've always been told you can't I see you are

great video. what is the sugar water mixture you used. how much sugar and how much water. im looking to can about 15 lbs of Bartlett pears. I just did spiced apple sauce and Indian curry apple chutney yesterday fir the first time using the water bath method and turned out good. I've canned before but usually salmon or partially smoked elk meat and use a pressure canner.

#replay 052024 date viewing. At canning stage would vacuum sealing then pressure canning be an option or just vacuum sealing?

Yummy looks sooo good

GO GREEN!!

Can you can cornmeal? I know you can flour.

what is ratio of lemon water?

What the sugar to water ratio when doing up the sugar liquid?

How much lemon juice do you add?

I watched and am trying to do it, right now... my water will be coming to a boil, and I have the bowl of ice and a pot with sugar water heating... but I don't know about the jar bath if I'm going to do that, or not.... but probabl,. if I have a deep enough pot.

This is the easiest canning video I’ve seen I might actually do this one the others are way too complicated looking, Also did you add sugar when you dropped the water in there? I came here because i can get pears that are not ripe yet. Will unripe pears be good this way? Ty.

Always de-bubble!!

Does the sugar liquid need to be very hot?

How much sugar in water for each jar

How do you make the sugar water mixture?

What is your sugar to water ratio.that you pour into the jars of pears? Great video by the way ! opps i just read the answer in the comments .

What is the ratio of sugar to water for the sugar water?

do you do greenpares do they have to be ripe

Can I use fruit juice instead of sugar

How much sugar in your water?

Dont use fresh lemon juice in canning because the acidity is different w each lemon . Use the bottled kind is consistent for acidity. Not nessisary for peats but when you have to can things that need lemon juice for preserving things in jar.

Is this method for ripe pears? Is there a way to remove skin from unripe pears?

How many jars in microwave at a time for 1 minute.?

How do you make the sugar water?

What’s the sugar to water ratio?

Instead of all that why not just use a peeler?

Recipe for your sugar water??---- oops found it.......1/2 c. to 3 cup water.......so 1/6 of it is sugar....sounds good.....

I get the vacuum, but never hear a pop.

I’m a little concerned about using the microwave to sterilize (4?) wet-down jars for only one minute. At what power do you process this sterilization? How did you come by this technique?

Sterilizing jars is unnecessary if you're processing for more than 10 minutes in a water bath.

I' m serializing the jars in the microwave and washing the caps with hydrogen peroxide.

What happens if you boil them for over 30 minutes and why do you need to make sure the jars are not too full?

I’d rather just eat ‘em

😧microwaving to sterilize!
