Caramel Pears

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 4 pint

Ingredients

6 pounds underripe medium-sized pears
2/3 cup light raisins
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup water
6 cups sugar

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 275°. Peel and core pears and fill the cavities with raisins. Mix honey with water and pour into a baking dish just large enough to accomodate the pears in a single layer. Pour in half the sugar in an even layer, arrange pears on the sugar and cover with remaining sugar. Bake for 3 hours, turning the fruit occasionally, until the pears and syrup are caramel colored. Ladle into hot, sterilized preserving jars, cover and seal.
