Cooking Instructions!
Peel, core, and chop the pears into small pieces.
In a large pot, combine the pears, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the pears to release their juices.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the preserves have thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
While the preserves are still hot, carefully transfer them to sterilized jars, leaving about 6 mm of headspace. Seal the jars tightly.
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation. Remove the jars from the water and let them cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
Enjoy your homemade Pear Preserves!
