Best Canned Rhubarb And Pear Pie Filling Recipes

CARAMELIZED PEAR PIE FILLING

Steps:

• In a 2 quart saucepan combine diced pears, water and the juice of one lemon. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally for 8 minutes. Some of the pears will break down, but that's fine.
• In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk to combine. Pour over pears, and stir constantly until sauce thickens approximately 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.

CANNED RHUBARB AND PEAR PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Slice the rhubarb into 1/2 inch slices. Add 2 cups of sugar, orange juice, and vanilla to the rhubarb in a heavy saucepan. Mix well and set aside.
• Peel, core, and dice the pears. Place cut pears in water containing ascorbic acid until all the pears are diced. Add the rest of the sugar, orange peel, mace, and cinnamon to the rhubarb mixture. Stir well and bring to a boil.
• Drain the pears, add to the mixture and cook for 3 minutes longer.
• Ladle into hot jars. Release the air bubbles, clean the rims, seal, and process in a water bath or 25 minutes.
