Fig-Pear Preserves

Figgy Pear Preserves




The fig tree just keeps producing fruit and I just keep trying to come up with new ways to preserve them.  This one is very tasty and different.

4 cups chopped pears, the hard kind
8 cups chopped fresh figs, less ripe is better
1/3 cup lemon juice
6 cups sugar

Combine all ingredients in preserving pot and bring to a boil over med-high heat.  Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 2- 2½ hours until thick and brown.  Stir very often.

Spoon into prepared sterilized jars and seal in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.  Yield: 8 – 8 oz jars.
