crinkle cut pears

 

 

well i did my pears yesterday and can i tell u i will never do another way again.. i have always hated to can pears cuz they take forever.. yes forver..u have to peel them, cut them in half and then spoon out everything..well this year with all the canning im doing i was trying to save some serious time..well this was so fast.. i had 13 quarts of pears peeled and quarted in 20 mintues with the help of my kids..yeah 20 mintues..so fast..anyhow i used my apple correr peeler thing but i put the corer part down..then we used my apple slicer and cut them into the pieces and then into a cool bath of lemon water to keep them from browning..after that it was filling the jars with the pears and then with my syrup..(i use 3 cups sugar to 7 cups water and bring to a boil..)..then it was adding the hot rings and lids and then process them for 30 minutes...so anyway there done and now i am about done canning this year..usually i am starting right about now but it has been such a hot summer that evrything came on about 3 weeks early this year..wahoo for me..A-
