Pears without sterilization compote

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook pear compote for the winter? First of all, prepare all the necessary ingredients. Which pears are better to take? Hard pears are great for compotes; they hold their shape perfectly and look very appetizing in jars. Select fruits without obvious signs of damage and without worms.

2. STEP 2

   

   Remove the tails from the pears and wash the fruit thoroughly. If your fruits are too large, cut them in half or into 4 pieces. You can leave the pears whole.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the jars and lids well with baking soda and a sponge. Rinse the container several times in clean cold water. Place the pears in jars. The amount of fruit may vary. If you like the pears themselves, then add more of them, but if you prefer a fragrant compote, then make fewer pears.

4. STEP 4

   

   To make the compote more aromatic, you can add a sprig of mint or vanilla to each jar.

5. STEP 5

   

   Fill the jars to the top with boiling water.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover with lids and leave to brew for 10-15 minutes. Drain the water from the jars into a saucepan and bring to a boil.

7. STEP 7

   

   Fill the jars with pears up to the neck with boiling water again and leave for another 10 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Next, pour the water back into the pan, add sugar and place on the stove. You can add more sugar to taste. Very sweet compote is usually diluted with cold water when consumed. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat; when the sugar has completely dissolved, remove the pan from the heat.

9. STEP 9

   

   Fill the jars with sweet syrup to the very top.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour citric acid into each jar or squeeze the juice of half a large lemon.

11. STEP 11

    

    Close the jars with lids, turn them upside down and wrap them in a warm blanket. Leave it this way until it cools completely. Next, put the finished compote in a cool, dark place for long-term storage.

12. STEP 12

    

    Insanely delicious pear compote is ready!

I love pears very much, and canned pears in winter are just a fairy tale! I liked the recipe for compote for winter pears without sterilization. I decided to make a healthy preparation using this recipe. I just peeled the pears and took out the centers, since the child will also eat them. I used ripe and juicy pears. I put larger pear halves in the jar, we love them very much. And the syrup can be diluted a little and you will get a compote. Replaced lemon juice with citric acid. I didn't add any flavorings. Pour boiling water over the pears, leave for 15 minutes, drain the water, add sugar and citric acid, and boil. I poured the hot syrup into jars and rolled them up. A very simple, quick and easy recipe for preparing pears for the winter. These pears can be eaten either way or used for desserts. Pears are very tasty, juicy and sweet. From 2 kg of pears I got 4 jars of 750 grams each. A worthy recipe! I will continue to prepare pears without sterilization) Thanks to the author!
