Some recipes include jalapeno peppers to their sweet relish dish. But with this recipe, we’re sticking to the basics and following old fashioned pear relish recipes. Aside from our juicy main ingredient, we’re mixing in red and green bell peppers for our homemade relish ingredients. These peppers don’t pack much heat so if you’re not a fan of spiciness, this is the perfect recipe for you.

You can also use Splenda or stevia instead of sugar if you’re looking for a sugar-free recipe for pear relish. These sugar alternatives won’t affect the preserving safety qualities of our relish but it’ll have a darker and runnier relish.

Be sure to boil your pear relish ingredients for an hour to prevent it from getting mushy and runny. Now that we’ve got the cooking covered, let’s head to how you should can your relish!

How To Can Your Pear Relish

Canning fresh fruits and vegetables are fairly easy. But it’s still important to know how to prepare your jars, and how you should handle it. Be sure to wash your jars, lids, and rims with soap to prevent it from accumulating bacteria.

Then using a ladle or a funnel fill your jar with your pear relish leaving half an inch of headspace. Next, with a bubble remover, slide it into the jar to remove excess bubbles from our pear relish. You can also use stainless knives as a bubble remover alternative. Move it towards the center of the jar and repeat this 2 or 3 times around it. Removing excess bubbles helps with keeping our pear relish last longer so we can enjoy it fully.

Finally, cover your jar and put it back in your canner, and boil them again for a bath canning for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, and leave it in the canner for 5 more minutes. Remove it in the canner and enjoy with your favorite dishes!
