Maple syrup (enough to fill jars after pears are packed in)
Instructions
Cut pairs in half and scoop out the small seeds.
Soak your pairs for 2-3 minutes in a lemon water bath. (optional)
Pack the pears into hot, sterilized jars.
Cover pears with hot syrup, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
Wipe rims and place a hot canning lid on each jar.
Process in a boiling water canner for 25 minutes for pint jars and 30 minutes for quart jars. (Add 1 minute additional processing time for every 1000 feet above sea level.)
