Vanilla Pear Sauce

Delightful change from applesauce. Very juicy with a nice chunky consistency. Not overly sweet. This is my own creation. Of course you don't have to can this recipe, just stop at #9. it is a simple recipe and easy enough to cut down the amount also.

Steps

Use a large 6 qt pot.
Cut pears in half , core , peel and cut pears into large chunks.
The pear chunks should fill the pot to 5 quart level at least.
Add water and sugar ,.
Bring to boiling point then reduce to low boil.
Stir in vanilla , lemon juice , nutmeg and ground cloves.
Give it the old taste test , adjust sugar and spice if needed.
Cover and cook 10-15 minutes or until pears are very soft and easily mashed to your desirable consistency using a potato masher.
Do not drain off liquid after cooking unless it is a way to watery , keep it juicy now.
Quickly fill sterilized hot jars to 1 / 8 inch of rim.
Wipe clean jar rims and threads.
Cover with hot lids and bands tightened finger tight only.
Process in boiling water 12 minutes.
Suggestion: while preparing the pears to prevent them from darkening during preparation drop them into a large pot of water with 2 tbs salt , 2 tbs vinegar added to each gallon of water used.
Enjoy !.
