Cinnamon Pears In Apple Juice-Canning - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 - 1 1/2 lb pear, per pint
cinnamon stick
unsweetened apple juice

Preparation

Peel pears, and cut into halves and core.
Treat to prevent darkening(I submerge them in lemon juice and a little water).
Drain; rinse and drain again.
Cook pears in water one layer at a time until hot throughout.
Heat the apple juice just to a boil.
Pack hot pears into hot jars, leaving 1/2\" headspace.
Place 1 cinnamon stick in each jar.
Ladle hot apple juice over pears, leaving 1/2\" headspace.
Remove air bubbles(I do this with a knife).
Adjust two piece caps.
Process pints 20 minutes in a boiling water canner. Enjoy!
