Ginger pears
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | pounds | Hard green pears; peeled, cored and sliced |
| 3 | pounds | Sugar |
| 2 | Lemons | |
| 2 | ounces | Green ginger root; scraped and minced |
Directions
Cover pears with sugar; let stand for several hours. Squeeze lemons; drizzle a little lemon juice on ginger. Chop lemon rinds fine. When pears are ready, bring to a boil; add ginger root, lemon juice and rind. Turn heat low; simmer until pears are clear and very thick; stir gently to prevent sticking. Remove from heat and pour into sterilized jars. Seal hot.
Yields 4 pints. Pear slices should remain distinct and unbroken but should be almost transparent.
