Description
Discover the art of creating a delightful Pear Relish Recipe that combines the finest pears and peppers, perfect for Fresh Pear Recipes and Home Canning Recipes enthusiasts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 18 large hard pears
- 18 bell peppers (use all colors)
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 3 pints vinegar
- 5 large onions (mix white and red)
- Green hot pepper
- Red hot pepper
Instructions
- Finely chop the pears, bell peppers, onions, and hot peppers.
- Place all chopped ingredients in a large pot. Add sugar, salt, and vinegar to the pot, stirring everything until well combined.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer until all ingredients are tender and flavors have melded together, approximately 30 minutes.
- Carefully ladle the hot pear relish into clean, heated canning jars, leaving a half-inch of headspace. Clean rims, place lids and rings on jars, and tighten.
- Process jars in a hot water bath for 10 minutes for a proper seal. Remove using the jar lifter, let cool completely on a clean towel. Store in a cool, dark place once cooled.
Notes
- Use firm, slightly underripe pears for better texture during cooking.
- Taste your relish before canning and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Avoid overcooking to prevent a mushy texture.
