There are a lot of ways of preserving fruits: cooking jam, jam, confiture, harvesting dried and dried fruits, compotes and even pickled fruits and berries - a source of vitamins for the long winter months. We will tell you how to cook pears in syrup for the winter, so as not to overpay the producers of canned food.
Simple canned food
The easiest way, and safer to cook pears in wedges in syrup for the winter. Such blanks do not exactly "explode", because we will remove the core.
Ingredients:
- pears sweet with a soft core - 2-3 kg;
- white sugar - 400 g;
- citric acid - 1 tbsp. a spoon;
- cinnamon powder - ½ tsp;
- prepared (filtered or bottled) water - 5 glasses.
Preparation
- Such pears in syrup are prepared for the winter without sterilization.
- Each pear is cut in half, peeled, cut out the core and veins leading from the middle to the peduncle, after which we shred slices and dipped into boiling syrup, boiled from water, sugar and citric acid.
- When the pear is boiling for about 10 minutes, add the cinnamon.
- Jars and sterilize beforehand. In the steam heated jars we spread the pear slices, fill it with boiling syrup and immediately close it.
- Inverted jars are wrapped in a veil, after cooling we transfer it to a cellar or a pantry.
Pears whole
If you want to roll up pears entirely in syrup, the recipe for such a preparation for the winter will be distinguished by minor details. True, you need another device - a special tube with a sharp edge, with which you can cut the core of a pear without cutting the fruit.
Ingredients:
- pears are ripe, with a soft middle - 1 kg;
- vanillin - 1 sachet;
- sand white sugar - 1 glass;
- prepared water (purified) - 1 l;
- citric acid purified - 1 teaspoon;
- a set of spices (corn, carnation, lemon peel) - to taste.
Preparation
- First you need to prepare the washed pears for conservation: remove the cores, tails, put them in sterilized cans more tightly.
- We boil water, and pour boiling water into cans. We give pears a good steam for a quarter of an hour.
- Drain the water and add sugar and acid to it. If there is a desire, put spices, but if pears are fragrant, spices should not be added. When the syrup boils for 10 minutes, add the vanilla and pour the pears. We roll up and wait for the jars to cool under the blanket.
- As you can see, it's easy to close pears in syrup for the winter. Fragrant, delicate fruit can later be used as an independent dessert, filling for baking, a means of decorating cakes and pastries.
