My great-grandmother used to make this
and it was delicious with her homemade biscuits, that were cooked in
a wood stove. This recipe has 2 ingredients and simple directions,
but to make it the old fashioned way, it is an all day process.
Ingredients:
To every 2 lbs. Pears, peeled and
sliced, add 1 lb sugar
Directions:
Put the pears in sugar in a big pot or
dishpan and allow to sit overnight. Early the next morning, cook
slowly or on low heat on top of the stove, uncovered for almost half
a day or until juice slightly thickens and both pears and syrup
become transparent and amber in color. Use your own judgment by
testing occasionally. The pears must not become too hard. Put up in
sterilized, dry jars and seal.
