Thats what Im doing..Been canning all Fall..Everyone is getting an assortment of things I made
I made 4 pints of just canned pears in cinnamon syrup last night to finish off the pears I had leftover
OOH yum! Pears in in cinnamon...
If i did that, would the slices hold up for freezer canning? Or would they be a mushy mess??
Not sure Redhen, but you could make it into a chunky pear sauce and add cinnamon (lots!) like I did. Mine are canned, but I don't see why you couldn't freeze it. I just cooked the pears/cinnamon down, mixing it with a whisk to make it chunky.
40 (med-large) or 50 (smaller)pears
1cup water
2 tsp lemon juice
cinnamon to taste
sugar to taste -- I didn't use any because it was pretty sweet.
Peel, core, and slice pears. Put in large pot. Add 1 cup water. Heat to boiling, stirring every now and again. Cover and boil for 20-30 minutes or until pears are soft. Remember to stir!! Add lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar (if desired). Cook pears down to desired consistency, stirring often. Leave pot uncovered while they cook down. Like I said, I used my whisk which broke them down nicely into a chunky sauce. You could use an immersion blender or food processor, too, for a finer sauce. Process sauce in a canner or you could cool and then freeze them.
