Ingredients:
| 8 cups peeled, cored and chopped pears |

- For Canning: Ladle mixture into hot, sterile half-pint or pint jars, leaving 1/4″ headspace. Cover with prepared lids/rings. Process in boiling water bath according to your county extension office guidelines (generally 5 minutes unless you live in high altitudes, etc.). Set jars aside overnight and check to make sure lids are sealed. If you have one that doesn’t seal, refrigerate promptly. Keep sealed jars in a cool, dry place for 6-8 months.
- Optional: Add in 2 tsp freshly grated ginger for Gingered Pear Honey – it adds a unique flavor to an old-fashioned recipe.
Storing tips:
Here are a few tips for storing honey:
- Store honey in a cool, dark place. Honey will last longer if it’s not exposed to light or heat.
- If you’re not going to use all the honey at once, be sure to store it in an airtight container. This will help keep the honey from drying out and prevent mold from growing.
