Preparing the ingredients for making pear juice:

  • Thoroughly wash the pears to remove any dirt or residue.
  • Peel pears if you prefer a smoother juice (optional).
  • Core the pears and chop them into chunks.
  • Remove the cores from the pears.
  • If your pears have blemishes and bruising, you can still use them for juicing, but make sure to cut them out

Cooking the pears and canning homemade pear juice::

  • Place the pear chunks in a large stockpot and water.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are soft.
  • Allow the cooked pears to cool slightly. Blend them into a smooth puree using a blender or food mill.
  • To strain your juice, use a fine metal mesh strainer. Carefully pour the pear puree through the strainer. It will catch the pulp, leaving you with a smoother liquid in the container below.
  • Your homemade pear juice is now ready.
  • If you plan to can this juice, make sure your canning jars are sterilized and ready.
  • Pour the strained juice into the canning jars.
  • Process the juice using an atmospheric steam canner or boiling water bath canner. Your homemade pear juice is now ready to go into your panty.
