How to Can Pears Without Sugar

Jump to Recipe

how to can pears without sugar

I’m a lazy canner you guys…

I adore canning and especially love surveying the pretty rows of brightly colored jars when I’m finished, but you can bet that if I can safely take a “shortcut,” I will.

Take my home-canned applesauce for example. The vast majority of applesauce recipes insist you peel the apples first. But if you’re me, you simply quarter them, core them, and toss them in the pot, peels and all. (And if you have a food mill, it gets even easier!)

When I decided to can pears last weekend, I was slightly dismayed to find that all the recipes called for peeling (not an easy task with a slippery, slimy pear) and then batch-cooking the fruit in heavy sugar syrups.

how to can pears

Blah.

This was not fitting with my lazy highly-efficient style of canning…

So I decided to make some adjustments. Now, generally, canning recipes are NOT something you want to adjust too much, as usually the “rules” are in place to keep the food safe to eat (for example–getting rebellious and canning low-acid food in a water bath canner instead of a pressure canner is a BAD idea).

However, after a little research I determined the edits I wanted to make would still allow me to produce SAFE canned pears with a bit less work. Score!

You’ll find two main changes in this canned pears recipe:

1) I did not peel my pears. Most people choose to peel them to avoid the grainy texture, but honestly, this doesn’t bother me too much. You can definitely still peel them if you like, or you can just be lazy like me and leave them intact.

2) I did not use sugar. At all. In many canning recipes, sugar acts as a preserving agent, however in canning peaches and pears, it is just for sweetness, which allows us to safely omit it. You can use honey if you like, but my pears were delectably sweet already, so I didn’t want to muddy the crisp pear flavor.

How to Can Pears Without Sugar

You Will Need:

  • Firm, ripe pears (it generally takes 2-3 lbs of pears to fill one quart jar)
  • Water
  • Lemon juice (for pretreatment– optional)

Instructions:

Wash the pears and halve or quarter them. Remove spoiled spots. (You can peel them if you wish, but I didn’t!)

how to can pears

Allow the pears to soak for 2-3 minutes in a lemon juice bath. This helps to prevent discoloration. I mixed roughly 1/2 cup of lemon juice with 1 gallon of water, and then briefly washed/dipped the pears in the solution. (It definitely worked too! My pears didn’t discolor one bit).

Pack the pears into hot, sterilized jars.

Cover the pears with boiling water, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.

(If you are new to canning, here is my complete water bath canning tutorial)

Process in a boiling water canner: 25 minutes for pints, 30 minutes for quarts.

Enjoy your home canned pears in homemade yogurt, oatmeal, or straight from the jar! You can even use them to make my new favorite dessert: rustic pear tart with cream & spice.

Canning Pears Recipe Notes:

  • If you would like to sweeten up your pears a bit, you can add honey to your boiling water mixture. You’ll need to play around with the amounts, depending on how many pears you are canning and how sweet you’d like them to be.
  • Avoid mushy, over-ripe pears for this recipe. Firm, ripe ones are the best.
  • If you aren’t going to peel your pears, I suggest selecting organic varieties, as the peel often holds many of the icky chemicals.
  • Looking to can peaches without sugar too? Try my Honey Cinnamon Canned Peaches.
  • Want another delicious option for canning pears without refined sugar? Try Canning Pears in Maple Syrup! (Yum!)
  • If you don’t want to can whole pears, try making pearsauce instead.
  • Why cold-pack instead of hot-pack? Many canned pear recipes call for you to cook the pears first. Although this is the method most often recommended, I found that many folks like to simply cold-pack their pears as well. The benefits of cold-packing are less mushy fruit and less work, although some folks complain that cold-packed pears are prone to shrink a bit after you jar them and float to the top. That doesn’t bother me much, but if you are concerned, simply cook your pears for 5 minutes in the boiling water before you place them in the jars. Proceed to fill the jars with the hot cooking liquid, and voila! You’ll have hot-packed pears.
  • Does canning totally stress you out? Trust me, I have totally been there! Here are my best tips for no-stress canning.

    I am with you on the “high-efficiency” canning. I don’t can pears! I used to but when the kiddos would take them out of the jar they would just mash them up to put in oatmeal. I make pear sauce and don’t peel them for that either. We make pear muffins with the sauce too! Ok, now I’m hungry!

        I canned pears in plum sauce a couple years ago. Not good if you want big pieces of pear because the acid in the plum breaks down the pears. Was never big on pears, but they were amazing.

        Hi Dianne! Before you can your pears, make sure to read the directions thoroughly! Before you put the jars in the canner you put the seals and rims on the jars.

        I just made these this afternoon!!
        They look wonderful! My husband had been craving some canned pears, no sugar with skin on, and this was just the perfect recipe.
        I did notice there are some tiny bubbles around the pears after processing, and I’m not sure if that means I did it 100% right.
        We can’t wait to try them, so we’ll be popping the first open for dessert tonight!
        How long can I keep the rest in the cupboard?
        Thanks!!!!

      I am so happy to find this recipe! I have a bumper crop of pears this year and they are so delicious! I don’t want to waste any. I was overwhelmed with the idea of peeling them. I love that I don’t have to put sugar in them. They turned out delicious! I can tolerate the skin if that means that I don’t have to peel them.

      When I have made pear sauce with minimum sugar, I would have to can in in tiny jars. Once it was opened in the fridge, it went bad QUICKLY – like in days. But the pears I canned regulary, were fine. BTW, the pear sauce (like applesauce, mostly just mashed pears with a little vit c for color) stayed just fine on the pantry shelf.

      I keep coming back to this recipe!!! Our school is providing meals for kids through this pandemic. We have been getting more pears than we know what to do with!! The first 2 times I used these techniques I got 3 quarts. I just did 6 more plus a pint!! My kids love them and eat them so much better when they are canned. The first 6 quarts are already gone. I did add 2 donks of stevia to each pint.

        You could always preserve or add a bit of citric acid in your fruit if the “acid level” bothered you.
        I do this sometimes. Citric acid (is basically Vit C powder) is used to prevent discoloration like the lemon juice above. It also raises the acidity level of your fruit to an acceptable level to water bath can.
        Of course, one could argue that the lemon juice also does that.
        Food for thought 🙂
        I think either way your good though. Nothing to worry about !

          “Citric acid (is basically Vit C powder) is used to prevent discoloration like the lemon juice above. ”
          Vitamin C is actually ascorbic ascorbic acid, not citric acid, though both are found in citrus fruits.

      Water bath method is used for fruits, pickles and tomato products,they are high acid products and water bath is effective in killing bacteria, etc. Pressure canning is needed for meats and vegetables. They are low acid.

      I made these yesterday, no sweetener of any kind. Just poured the boiling water over the pears after I did the lemon juice/water soak. Today I checked on the jars and at the top of the jar the pears turned brown, the area that is slightly exposed to the section where there is no liquid. Is this normal?

    There used to be a product out on the market years ago called Sure Gel Light that gave the instructions to make jams without sugar and I loved it because sugar just masked the flavor of the fruits. I can’t find it anymore and the ones I have found as options to all the sugar uses sugar substitutes or fruit juices instead when I would rather use just the fruit. Are there any sources that you know of that tells which ones must have sugar and which don’t need it?

        Since your water bath time is more than 10 minutes, you can also save time/effort and don’t have to sterilize the jars beforehand, just wash them – they get sterilized during the water bath.

    Question: do you put the lids on after you put water into jars or after you have boiled the jars in the bath canner. It would seem that you put them on before as that what makes them seal, but I am a new at this and wanting to try canning. So just want to be sure.

    I have judged at fairs and still like to see the foods neatly arranged
    in the jars. I just did 46 quarts of peaches — so pretty. I used a very
    light syrup 1 cup sugar to 4 to 6 c. water. Now am ready

    I am even lazier than you, uh, more efficient. As we generally eat our pears on toast or pancakes or waffles, I simply press the quartered pears down into the jars until the space is all used up. just pears, no air except at the top, and no water. That way, the flavor of the pears is not washed into the canning water. they come out tasting very close to fresh. They last at least over a year, and, as food should be eaten within that time for best nutrition, I am happy! This is my second year of using this method and we are still finishing up the pears from last year, which look perfect still.
    Thanks for this blog, I am always learning something!

    Another way of canning pears without sugar which I’ve been doing for 40 years is in pineapple juice. Buy it in large cans. Not only are the pears delicious but they are beautiful in the jars with that pineapple juice. Plus you can drink the juice after eating the pears!

    Try adding 1/2 slim slice of lemon to your pint jar. Keeps the pears white and adds a nice tang to the pears and juice. My Mother did this and I have been doing it for years.

    I just finished canning my pears with a half inch of head room and after they sat over night the liquid level dropped about 2 inches. Is this safe to store on shelf. Thanks

    In my canning class we were told the peelings on fruit contain a large amount of bacteria, and that’s why we should take it off before canning.

      That and chemicals! I would be very leery of eating any canned fruit with the skin intact. I was taught to peel, core, and remove all blemishes.

    I get enough Bosc pears from my one tree to can 5 or 6 jars. The Bosc, although ugly are quite firm and just perfect when peeled and sliced into quarter lengths. This cold bath technique works beautifully for me.I Mix and boil 1/2 water and 1/2 juice from my Gravenstein apples, which are harvested earlier, made into cider and frozen. I add cardamom and cinnamon sticks to some of them.These come out firm enough to make rustic tarts, but also soft enough to add to yogurt.

    I use a pressure canner, how long would you pressure can the pears for. I have been thinking about not peeling them because it really is time consuming!!

    our family has blood sugar issues so I can in either organic apple or white grape juice from Trader Joe’s. The canned fruit tastes more like fresh fruit. Never had a jar go bad.

    My best hint for pears is to clean a large drill bit and drill use it to core the pears.
