REC Brandied Pears
Great stuff & good with any sort of fruit, I think. I did with
cherries. Edrena From the Ball Blue Book, 1999: Brandied Pears yield 4 quarts 10 pounds pears 6 cups sugar 4 cups water 3 cups brandy Wash, peel, halve & core pears. Combine sugar and water in a large sauce pot; bring to a boil. Cook pear sin syrup one layer at a time until just tender, about 5 minutes. Place cooked pears in a large boil; set aside. After all pears are cooked, continue cooking syrup until thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; add brandy. Pack pears into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Ladle hot syrup over pears, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Note: Use white brandy for a clear syrup; however, any brandy will flavor the fruit. [I used peach flavored brandy with the pears- it was wonderful-ej] |

My mama would be mortified. Or intrigued, one. Edrena |

Four cups of water is about a liter. The ratio is 3/4 as much brandy as water and 3/2 as much sugar as water. So: 1 liter water 1.5 liter sugar 750 ml. brandy Anny |
