As I make Grandmothers Pear Preserves, I remember my childhood with my grandparents. This is one of many things learned and I'm so blessed to be able to continue the tradition. Here on our urban homestead we'll take you through the entire process from slicing to canning and everything in between. If this is your first time visiting Prewitt Homestead, we'd love it if you could jump over to facebook (see the link below) as we will be answering questions and sharing new updates Live on Sunday evenings!

It’s a Kiefer canning pear. I can them in slices for pies in sugar syrup. I also sugar cores and peelings and cook them down and strain it and have pear syrup. My husband ‘s mother made only pear preserves!!!
Hi Brian, greetings from Canada, I have this pear tree in my yard too, and its called a European pear, and I'm told to wait and pick pears after the first frost to sweeten them, I usually peel and slice them and canned them up with a simple syrup, thank you for your video, lovely way to share your grandmother's recipe♥️
Oh my goodness, this looks exactly like the pear preserves my grandma Allan used to make in Alabama. I have searched far and wide to try to find a recipe that's even close to what she did and I believe I found it! Thank you brother for this blessed recipe! It's beautiful and I can't wait to try it. Unfortunately my grandma didn't leave any of her recipes at least not that I know of anyway. But thank you so much for sharing this, it takes me back to a memory that was very cherished, homemade pear preserves and homemade biscuits with butter. Now that's a treasure! 🙏❤️
Enjoy. Thanks for stopping by and hanging out with us
Thank you SO much! My mom and Mississippi always made these for us growing up there so delicious. I’m glad that I found your video because I am making him today for the first time. Thank you for taking the time to show how you do it.
I have one of these pear trees. They make the best preserves. Also, if you pick them and put them in a brown paper bag and store in a dark pantry for a day or two they’ll soften up enough to eat. ❤️
Love that!
Precious memories pear preserves are......priceless!❤
I like your Dirtrooster hat. He’s quite a guy. My office friend was dating a country loving guy for a while, and even though the relationship didn’t eventually solidify, the lifestyle change she met did, in that to complement his hunting gifts she became a diehard State Fair food entrant. She preserved the rock hard pears of her neighbor, who used to call her up when the fallen pears started interfering with his lawn care. She scouted out unknown persimmon and plum trees in her suburban quarter to be transformed in mason jars. She eventually inherited all the family recipes which had been lurking with her mother until someone showed interest. Anyway, your grandmother’s pear preserves reminded me, for which I thank you. Maybe there’s something intrinsic about pears that develop family values. It was a good video. Maybe try some grated ginger root and a little cinnamon in there. I have it on good authority that that kind of addition makes preserves stand out on the bench. Although the sheer fact of existing at all should make any preserve memorable anymore.
Randy is a wonderful friend.
My grandmother is 89 years old and I’m going to pick these hard pears from her trees this weekend. I usually make brandy pears but will add some preserves to my to do list.
Enjoy!
Hello from Hinesville....MMMM pear preserves on a nice hot biscuit!!!! Will be trying this next year, canning pears this year, first try. Thanks for the video.
My goodness Hinesville!! Oh the memories in Hinesville. Enjoy!!
We had a pear tree like this in our backyard. Mom had an oldtimey grinder that clamped to the table. She made “green pear and onion relish”. We hadda open all the windows and turn on the fans, the onions were so loud. I remember climbing that big ole tree and eating a few of those pears. Can’t remember what they tasted like: musta been hungry. I do remember that I thought they were so tough I thought my teeth might get pulled out. Got a whopper of a bellyache too
What an awesome memory!! Thank you for sharing that. My grandmothers old pear tree got struck by lightening I recall and she was heartbroken. But it came back to life!
I just wanted to tell you that I have followed your video twice now. The first batch was so good! The second one I must have done something slightly different because they turned darker in color and were almost candied. My grandmother (89 years old) said they were perfect though. Thank you for sharing the step by step.
Thanks for sharing this recipe... can't wait to try it for myself!
These look like my grandmother's pearl preserves! They are dark and delicious! Thanks for showing how to do it
One thing I distinctly remember about pears is that they dull your knife faster than you can sharpen it. Labor of love
Made these one time and once it set up I could not get it out of the jar. It turned into hard candy. Excellent video!
Thank you! I like grandma's recipe! 😊
Thanks for the tutorial on how to preserves Pear
Your video is like a movie! Love it. Thank you for sharing. I plan to do some pear preserves next week. I live in Canada and my pear tree over produced this year. They were green like yours but now getting bigger and ripe.
That is a great name Albert. Thanks for sharing this video. Have a wonderful day
Thank you for sharing your pear preserves preps. It’s great to share with the children about family.
I made pear preserves from my tree yesterday and they came out perfect. I went by your recipe. Excellent !!!!!
I love hearing that!
Don't rely on RUclips to preserve your stories for those girls. Keep your own recorded library of all your videos.
Extremely great advice. Wrote it down on PAPER
Looks like a great product and I just picked my pears. Thanks for sharing.
Love your video. This is how my grandmother made hers. If i wanted the syrup thicker do i just cook it longer?thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Someone is right & someone is wrong...either these are a kieffer or a bartlet...can't be both. I planted 2 pear trees in my backyard about 20 years ago...one was always loaded with fruit...soft and easy to eat right from the tree. I gave my lawn guy a bucket full, he immediately ate it and said that was the best pear he had ever eaten. I think it was a Kieffer pear but not 100%. The other tree never produced (Bartlett) only a few hard pears. Now, after Hurricane Michael (October 2018) the good producer died never came back, However, the other tree is now loaded with an incredible amount of pears...amazingly I'm inspired to can some pears. Instead of giving pears away...it will be preserves. Thanks for showing me how to do this. I never knew. P.S. I'm not sure the names as the i.d. tags faded years ago. Next time I'll label them on something more permanent.
I have a Bartlett pear tree at home. The pears are very similar to those...after harvesting them they seem to need like a week in the fridge and when taken out of it they start ripening.
Thanks for sharing
A Fantastic Video! I enjoyed listening to you! Your Grandmother must of been amazing! I never knew mine, they had all passed at young ages! My Grandpa made the pear preserves and they were so delicious! I am going to make some in a couple days!
I'm sure your peer preserves will turn out great
I’m going to can pear preserves this weekend. You do it exactly like my family has always done it! Great video!
I will definitely be following your directions for it this year. We have a Kiefer pear tree. I understand about reaching that amber color, but I couldn’t find if you shared the temperature when done. Another site mentioned the target temperature is 217° to 222°F. Is that correct for your recipe?
I think that 222 mark is just right. They will get stiff quick if you get much hotter.
Did you have to cook them in a water bath after you put them in your jars
Yes. Water bath after putting them in the jars. I go 15 minutes.
I truly enjoyed this. So many memories. Well I bought some pears but as a child we had our own pear trees.
You said you are in southwest GA. I am from Blakely currently living in Headland, Al
Southeast GA. Near Savannah. Thanks for tuning in!
I live in Jakin!
Mine was Pappas pomegranate jelly! Was the only thing I ate on my tost! An his apricot fruit leather and he sun dried it. Later on I found his stash of apricot brandy...
Love the recipe, but love Albert more!! 😅
You just brought back so many memories for me!! My Mamaw made this every year. She had a giant pear tree in the field next to her house. I couldn’t wait every year for her to start making all the delicious things with those pears. Preserves and Pear Honey. It was all so delicious. I love a hard pear. I would eat so many that I would get sick. 😂 Thank you so much for this video. I was just a child again.
I love hearing this! Thanks for sharing
Proud to be your 782nd subscriber.
Thanks for joining us
I like the last jalapeño peppers of the year. I let em stay on and turn red. I dry and smoke em.
Doesn't that burn your throat and lungs????? LMAO. I know what you meant.
Love Albert
I have enough pears for maybe 6 half pint jars that my grandson and his friend peeled and cut for me They are not cut consistently Quiet alot of them are chipped in little peices I have had the sugar and pears sitting on the counter overnight My question is when I cook them are the small bits going to turn to mush or will the finished product still be preserves? Love the way you taught how to make this receipe
Sorry for the late response Susan. If you are not using a firm pear, or they have gotten a little soft they will turn to mush. I like to pick them when they are still nice and firm. It has to do with the variety also. Hope your preserves turned out amazing.
@@One29Homestead Thank you for replying I'm sorry to say that they didn't turn out I cooked them for 2 hours and the finished product was to hard to eat The best I can describe it is the juice turned out like the consistency of peanut brittle brittle, but harder They had started going soft and I think I should of cut the cooking time in half . The flavor was amazing though If I can ever afford to buy anymore I will try again
I have two pear tress that produce the same kind of pears....and they are very tasty....
these pears are delicious!!
Yes they are! Send us a picture of your preserves. Email address is in our about section
they are a bartlett pear and they will get soft if you rap them in newpeper and put in a cool place .. they will a long time
Looks terrific 😂
Great video
Thank you
@10 minutes.... SSSHHHHHHHHHHHH don't wake the spouse or you'll be making the coffee!
Funny story, I had a beautiful chicken I named Sassy. "She" was beautiful. I was so excited for 'her" to start laying eggs. One day I noticed "she" was crowing 🐓. As Sassy got to be more adult looking I had to change the name. Sassy became a Sasquatch. He was mean and rude to all my ladies. He ended up in a stew pot due to his poor personality. He had no manners what so ever with the ladies. The other roosters would run him all over the place but he always managed to hurt my ladies. I had one lady I named Ebony who was an amazing momma and layer. Sasquatch would start after her and Ebony would run and fly onto my shoulder so he couldn't harm her.
We get to name our chickens what we like. No shame in your game. If she is laying then Albert it is. 🐔🐓
DO YOU HAVE A RECIPE FOR YOUR MAMAW BISCUITS ? THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE FOR PEARS PRESERVES GOD BLESS
You did not check for air bubbles? How big of a deal is that?
It can be huge if you have a really big bubble. Beans are famous for trapping air.
I would love the actual complete recipe please.
LOL!!! That was the whole recipe. I reckon I could hand write it on a piece of pretty paper and mail it to you for $25? Sounds fair to me. Love you!
My time making pear preserves $100 an hour for domestic goddess of our home.
Well, you know a kings salary is never appreciated either.
Do you not have to put them in a Watergate afterwards ?
It is recommended that you water bath can them.
Do you not water bath the pear preserves?
Yes ma'am. For 10 minutes
That was a very important question! I was hoping since I did not hear or see him say anything about a water bath, that it was not required.
From your description of the pears they sound like d’anjou pears
I think you may be right from what I'm reading.
Did you add lemon juice to your pears?
No lemon juice. Just pears and sugar
Do you water bath them?
Yes. 15 minutes
@@One29Homestead Thanks
@@One29Homestead 15 minutes pints, 10 minutes half-pints?
@@lydiahubbell6278 the extension office says 5 minutes for half pints. 10 for pints
Albert identifies as a rooster.
Where is the recipe please?
Is it ok to use brown sugar?
I personally have never used brown sugar. I would think the flavor would be much richer because of the molasses
@@One29Homestead , after watching yours i watched a few others. Only one used some brown sugar. We like brown sugar but i will half/half it or 2/3 cane with 1/3 brown. Thankyou for responding, 🤗
Too thin hes cutting.
Pears are the cousin of the apple. Apples don't grow down South. Plant pear trees, not apples. Okay.
You sure that aint a quince?
Do you cook them on low?
Actually no. About medium to medium high. But keep your eye on it.
Kieffer pears
Lost me at slurping n smacking coffee at the onset. I’m out!
LOL!!!
