Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 5 Lbs Pears Roughly 10 cups, peeled cored and sliced.
  • 1.5 Cups Raisins Seedless, chopped a bit.
  • .5 Cup Green Pepper Chopped
  • 1 Cup Candied Ginger Chopped
  • 4 Cups Sugar
  • 3 Cups Cider Vinegar
  • .5 Tsp Salt
Spices
  • 3 Sticks Cinnamon Broken
  • .5 Tsp Cloves
  • .5 Allspice Whole

Method
 

  1. Wrap the cinnamon sticks, allspice, and whole cloves in a large piece of cheesecloth, tying it tightly to ensure the spices remain intact.
  2. Put all ingredients together in a large pot. Ideally, it should be at least 1/3 empty with all the ingredients in it...this allows room for the contents to boil properly without boiling over.
  3. Stir regularly, or continuously if you are not sure what "regularly" means. As you do so, keep scraping at the bottom of the pot so that you don't get anything sticking to the pot and burning.
  4. Boil this mixture for about 10 minutes, then ladle into sterilized jars, cover with sterilized lids and process for 20 minutes in a boiling water bath.
