Pear Perserves image

So many of my friends and family have shared their pears with me this year. I've never made pear perserves before but growing up my grandmother always had pear perserves and pear pickles. I can see her pantry now filled with jars of pears! I just got back from visiting my favorite aunt 88yr old and uncle 92 yr. old and came home...
