How do you store Pears in Syrup?

Refrigerator: Store the pears in syrup in a sealed jar in the refrigerator. They will stay good for about a week. Canning (longer shelf life): Place the warm pears in a sterilized canning jar. Bring the syrup back to a boil and pour it over the pears. Seal the jar immediately and turn it upside down to create a vacuum. In a dark, cool place, they will stay good for months. Freezer: You can freeze the pears without syrup, but they will be slightly softer after thawing.

How do you heat Pears in Syrup?

Pears in syrup, or preserved pears, are always nice to have on hand! I have a pear tree in my garden with an old variety of cooking pears—delicious! But you can actually make this recipe with any type of pear. The cooking time will just be a bit more or less.

I make the syrup from water and cane sugar with cinnamon, lemon, and vanilla, but you can adjust this to your taste. I store the pears in canning jars so I always have them on hand for a delicious pear tart or as a topping for yogurt with granola.
