Pear compote 3 liter jar

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pear compote in a 3 liter jar for the winter? Prepare your ingredients. For compote, choose whole, undamaged fruits of any variety. But keep in mind that if the pears taste very sweet, then the amount of sugar can be reduced so that the compote does not turn out cloying. If the pears have a neutral taste or you like sweet drinks, you can increase the amount of sugar. You will learn all the subtleties of winter preparations in the article at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the pears thoroughly. At my dacha, small pears were attacked after a strong wind, so I decided to make compote from them. The pears are small, so I didn't cut them. If the fruits are large or medium, then they can be cut into 2-4 parts depending on the size.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sterilize jars and lids in advance. Read about sterilization in the article at the end of this recipe. Since I didn’t have a large jar on hand, instead of one 3-liter jar, I used two suitable sizes: 2 liters and 1 liter (I show a photo of the process on a two-liter jar, but all proportions are given for a three-liter jar). Place pears in a jar, add sugar and citric acid.

4. STEP 4

   

   Boil water in a suitable container. One 3-liter jar requires about 2.5 liters of water.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour boiling water over the pears. Cover the jar with a sterilized lid.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the jar in a deep saucepan with hot water (the water in the saucepan must be heated so that there is no temperature difference - hot jar / cold water in the saucepan - otherwise the jar may crack). Place a special preserving rack or kitchen towel on the bottom of the pan. Bring the water in the pan to a boil and sterilize the jar over medium heat for 12-15 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the sterilized compote from the pan. Screw the lids on completely. If the lid has a sealing key, roll it up.

8. STEP 8

   

   Turn the jars upside down and wrap them in a towel. In this form, cool the compote completely at room temperature.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then turn the jar over again and put it in a dark, preferably cool place, away from direct sunlight.

I made several jars of compote according to the recipe for pear compote, 3-liter jar for the winter. My pears were medium and small. Having selected healthy fruits, she rinsed them under running water, then cut them into two parts. I filled the jars with pears halfway or a little more, focusing on the number of pears prepared for the compote (a large bowl of fruit for two 3-liter jars). I slightly changed the preservation process, making it my usual way. I poured the pears twice, first with boiling water, then with hot syrup with the addition of citric acid. I prepared the same compote for food. Just like in jars, I added citric acid, which gave the compote a pleasant sourness, it turned out aromatic and very tasty! Thank you very much for the recipe!

We have 3 pears growing at our dacha, one is quite large (winter). and one is early, and this one with a red side is medium. Papaya doesn’t grow here, I can’t even imagine how it grows, on trees or a shrub? I also want to make a little pear jam, so for variety, I once cooked it, pieces of pear are filled with sugar and completely soaked, just like candied fruits are made, it must be cooked in several stages, the pear does not sit for a long time and you must not miss the moment...

Shura, I joked about papaya, meaning that sometimes domestic fruits are more expensive than overseas ones. And I have never eaten or cooked pear jam. But, if I had to, I would cook it like you did in several stages and I think I would choose aromatic and strong ones and blanch them before cooking.
