Asian Pears are not as acidic and must be acidified to be safe for canning. In this tutorial I explain how.

Medium Spiced Syrup
5 1/4 c. water
2 1/4 c. sugar
1 vanilla bean
5 1" pieces of fresh ginger

Peel, core, halve or slice pears

Optional flavor additions:
dried spices: star anise, all spice berries, cloves, cinnamon sticks

For hot packing: In a large saucepan place drained fruit in syrup, water, or juice and bring to boil. Fill jars with hot fruit and cooking liquid, leaving ½-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rim. Center lid and apply band to fingertip tight.

Process pint jars for 20 minutes, quart jars for 25 minutes in boiling water or steam canner, adjusting for altitude as follows:
1,001-3,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 5 minutes
3,001-6,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 10 minutes
6,001-8,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 15 minutes
8,001-10,000 ft ~ increase processing time by 20 minutes

Allow jars to rest undisturbed for 12-24 hours. Remove bands, check seals, wash and label jars. Store in a cool dark dry place.

This tutorial is for informational purposes only. It is your responsibility to follow all instructions for your canner and water bath/steam canning. Always adhere to safe canning guidelines.
