Instructions
-
In a large pot, combine the chopped pears, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 1 hour, or until the pears are soft and translucent.

As it cooks, skim off any foam that forms on the surface.

Once cooked, ladle the preserves into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
-
Wipe the rims of the jars clean, then place the lids on top and tighten the bands.

Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing.
-
Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place.
