Grandmothers Pear Preserves -2021 

One thing I distinctly remember about pears is that they dull your knife faster than you can sharpen it. Labor of love

Oh my goodness, this looks exactly like the pear preserves my grandma Allan used to make in Alabama. I have searched far and wide to try to find a recipe that's even close to what she did and I believe I found it! Thank you brother for this blessed recipe! It's beautiful and I can't wait to try it. Unfortunately my grandma didn't leave any of her recipes at least not that I know of anyway. But thank you so much for sharing this, it takes me back to a memory that was very cherished, homemade pear preserves and homemade biscuits with butter. Now that's a treasure! 🙏❤️

It’s a Kiefer canning pear. I can them in slices for pies in sugar syrup. I also sugar cores and peelings and cook them down and strain it and have pear syrup. My husband ‘s mother made only pear preserves!!!

Looks terrific 😂

Someone is right & someone is wrong...either these are a kieffer or a bartlet...can't be both. I planted 2 pear trees in my backyard about 20 years ago...one was always loaded with fruit...soft and easy to eat right from the tree. I gave my lawn guy a bucket full, he immediately ate it and said that was the best pear he had ever eaten. I think it was a Kieffer pear but not 100%. The other tree never produced (Bartlett) only a few hard pears. Now, after Hurricane Michael (October 2018) the good producer died never came back, However, the other tree is now loaded with an incredible amount of pears...amazingly I'm inspired to can some pears. Instead of giving pears away...it will be preserves. Thanks for showing me how to do this. I never knew. P.S. I'm not sure the names as the i.d. tags faded years ago. Next time I'll label them on something more permanent.

These look like my grandmother's pearl preserves! They are dark and delicious! Thanks for showing how to do it

That is a great name Albert. Thanks for sharing this video. Have a wonderful day

Mine was Pappas pomegranate jelly! Was the only thing I ate on my tost! An his apricot fruit leather and he sun dried it. Later on I found his stash of apricot brandy...

Your video is like a movie! Love it. Thank you for sharing. I plan to do some pear preserves next week. I live in Canada and my pear tree over produced this year. They were green like yours but now getting bigger and ripe.

Thank you for sharing your pear preserves preps. It’s great to share with the children about family.

I like your Dirtrooster hat. He’s quite a guy. My office friend was dating a country loving guy for a while, and even though the relationship didn’t eventually solidify, the lifestyle change she met did, in that to complement his hunting gifts she became a diehard State Fair food entrant. She preserved the rock hard pears of her neighbor, who used to call her up when the fallen pears started interfering with his lawn care. She scouted out unknown persimmon and plum trees in her suburban quarter to be transformed in mason jars. She eventually inherited all the family recipes which had been lurking with her mother until someone showed interest. Anyway, your grandmother’s pear preserves reminded me, for which I thank you. Maybe there’s something intrinsic about pears that develop family values. It was a good video. Maybe try some grated ginger root and a little cinnamon in there. I have it on good authority that that kind of addition makes preserves stand out on the bench. Although the sheer fact of existing at all should make any preserve memorable anymore.

Don't rely on RU-vid to preserve your stories for those girls. Keep your own recorded library of all your videos.

Thanks for the tutorial on how to preserves Pear

Love the recipe, but love Albert more!! 😅

Looks like a great product and I just picked my pears. Thanks for sharing.

I made pear preserves from my tree yesterday and they came out perfect. I went by your recipe. Excellent !!!!!

I truly enjoyed this. So many memories. Well I bought some pears but as a child we had our own pear trees.

I’m going to can pear preserves this weekend. You do it exactly like my family has always done it! Great video!

Made these one time and once it set up I could not get it out of the jar. It turned into hard candy. Excellent video!

I have a Bartlett pear tree at home. The pears are very similar to those...after harvesting them they seem to need like a week in the fridge and when taken out of it they start ripening.

A Fantastic Video! I enjoyed listening to you! Your Grandmother must of been amazing! I never knew mine, they had all passed at young ages! My Grandpa made the pear preserves and they were so delicious! I am going to make some in a couple days!

Proud to be your 782nd subscriber.

You just brought back so many memories for me!! My Mamaw made this every year. She had a giant pear tree in the field next to her house. I couldn’t wait every year for her to start making all the delicious things with those pears. Preserves and Pear Honey. It was all so delicious. I love a hard pear. I would eat so many that I would get sick. 😂 Thank you so much for this video. I was just a child again.

I have two pear tress that produce the same kind of pears....and they are very tasty....

Great video

these pears are delicious!!

they are a bartlett pear and they will get soft if you rap them in newpeper and put in a cool place .. they will a long time

You said you are in southwest GA. I am from Blakely currently living in Headland, Al

DO YOU HAVE A RECIPE FOR YOUR MAMAW BISCUITS ? THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE FOR PEARS PRESERVES GOD BLESS

My time making pear preserves $100 an hour for domestic goddess of our home.

Funny story, I had a beautiful chicken I named Sassy. "She" was beautiful. I was so excited for 'her" to start laying eggs. One day I noticed "she" was crowing 🐓. As Sassy got to be more adult looking I had to change the name. Sassy became a Sasquatch. He was mean and rude to all my ladies. He ended up in a stew pot due to his poor personality. He had no manners what so ever with the ladies. The other roosters would run him all over the place but he always managed to hurt my ladies. I had one lady I named Ebony who was an amazing momma and layer. Sasquatch would start after her and Ebony would run and fly onto my shoulder so he couldn't harm her. We get to name our chickens what we like. No shame in your game. If she is laying then Albert it is. 🐔🐓

Kieffer pears

From your description of the pears they sound like d’anjou pears

I have enough pears for maybe 6 half pint jars that my grandson and his friend peeled and cut for me They are not cut consistently Quiet alot of them are chipped in little peices I have had the sugar and pears sitting on the counter overnight My question is when I cook them are the small bits going to turn to mush or will the finished product still be preserves? Love the way you taught how to make this receipe

Do you not have to put them in a Watergate afterwards ?

Did you add lemon juice to your pears?

You did not check for air bubbles? How big of a deal is that?

You sure that aint a quince?

Do you not water bath the pear preserves?

Do you cook them on low?

Pears are the cousin of the apple. Apples don't grow down South. Plant pear trees, not apples. Okay.

Do you water bath them?

Is it ok to use brown sugar?
