• 1 -1 1/2 lb pear, per pint

I made a few jars of these last summer and loved them! This summer I am planning on canning many more than that. I didn't have cinnamon sticks so I just sprinkled in a little ground cinnamon with the apple juice. Super easy and delicious!

This recipe is excellent!!! I just made 10 quarts with the last of the pears. I can't wait to eat them all!!!! Very simple to do.
