Asian Pears

[YYY]

Hi Everybody,

 

I seem to be having a year long senior moment.

 

Two weeks ago at a yard sale, the woman giving the yard sale had just been given 20 or so Asian pears by her father (he had just picked them off his tree). When he left, she asked me if I wanted them. Of course I said yes. I came home and put them in the crisper of the refrigerator and promptly forgot about them until about an hour ago.

 

I googled a canning recipe for them on Simply Canning. I know I've read here on Mrs S that I can use the skins for something but I can't remember what it is. HELP !!! Please tell me what I can do and give please me a recipe also.

 

Thanks in advance

Yum! I love Asian pears best of all fruit!!! Good dehydrated too.

 

But I don't know the recipe you're seeking. Just drooling over your good fortune.

Just be sure you acidify them if canning. Just like you do tomatoes, Asian pears must have added acid.

Hi Mt_Rider and Violet

 

Thank you for your replies

 

Violet, how much lemon juice should I add to each 8 oz jar?

 

Mt_Rider, I should have been more clear. I'm meant to say "What can I use "any" fruit skins for? Juice - How? Jam/Jelly - How?

 

Thanks in advance

Use 1 T. bottled lemon juice per pint or 2 T. per quart.

 

I have tried to use the peels, but I have been disappointed in the flavor when I have done that.
