- 1/2 bushel of pears (approx. 1 large dish pan of pears)
- 5 lbs. sugar

- ●Pour pear and sugar mixture into thick pot. Cook over low heat until sugar melts. Turn up to medium heat and cook until syrup thickened (about 1 1/2 hours)
- ●Note: Will need to stir occasionally until syrup begins to thicken then more frequently to prevent scorching (frequency of stirring increases as syrup thickens).
