Honey Cinnamon Pears with Ginger Cream Recipe

14 · Jun 26, 2018 · 2 Comments

Peanut butter and jelly, mac and cheese, grilled cheese and tomato soup… The food world is filled with classic pairs. Foods that work so harmoniously together that they become synonymous with each other. Within this world, there are a few hidden gems that people tend to miss if they aren’t out there looking for it. One of those pairings is ginger with pears, it’s delightful! This month’s fresh preserving recipe is honey cinnamon pears with a lovely ginger cream.  Come follow along as I preserve some pears and then make this late summer early fall dessert that will for sure tickle the taste buds.

I have fallen in love with learning all about preserving fresh produce at the peak of their freshness. Even more, I love having it to savor for months to come. One of my favorites is the mixed berry jam that I added to some homemade ice cream last month… divine!

This month I’m preserving pears using a recipe from the Ball® Brand that is light and sweet capitalizing on honey and apple juice instead of sugar. This creates a  lighter syrup that I really like. The addition of cinnamon is perfect as well. 

Tips For Preparing Your Workspace and Tools For Canning

The first steps to preserving anything is to get your space and your tools ready. Here are a few tips to get you started.

  • Start with a clean and sanitized kitchen free from clutter. It goes really without saying a clean kitchen is one that produces the best outcomes. Obviously for health reasons but, also it just feels better to work in a clean, uncluttered space.
  • Have your Ball® jars and lids clean and ready by running them through your dishwasher before you’re ready to start the preserving process. I ALWAYS forget to do this first and it always pushes back my canning timeline. So, do as I say, not as I do. PLAN AHEAD!
  • Make sure you have the proper lids ready. When it comes to canning, you can use your lid rings many times but, the lid itself is a one-time use item. The lids need to be new so that it can make the best seal to keep out all of those nasty bugs. Make sure that you have purchased new lids before you start your canning project. 
  • Other tools to have on hand;
    • clean cotton dish towels – these are handy to wipe rims and to set cooling jars on
    • canning funnel – this makes filling these jars SO much easier.
    • headspace tool – this multifunction tool helps to make sure you have proper headspace which is really important and it helps to release any bubbles in your jar.
    • secure-grip jar lifter – this tool is a must! When using a hot water bath, you don’t want to risk any possible injuries by using improper tools. 
    • Water bath canner – you’ll need to have a large water bath canner in order to finish off the canning process and allowing the jars to seal when canning most fruit. Some fruits, vegetables, and meats will need a pressure canner because they require a higher temperature to be preserved properly. Make sure to use the proper stove top when canning! If you have a glass top stove, not to worry. You can get an electric water bath canner from Ball®. If you have a gas stove or a traditional coil electric stove, you can use a traditional water bath canner. 

Preparing Pears for Preserving

For this recipe, it does not call for you to peel your pears. YAY for skipping that step! However, you need to wash your pears and then cut them into quarters removing the seeds. Then you’ll need to put them into a bowl of water with some Ball® Fruit Fresh or some lemon juice. This will keep your pears from turning brown.

Now it’s time to create your preserving liquid. As a kid, my Mom would can pears and peaches in a sugary syrup that as a kid was heavenly. Now that I’m an adult, it’s a little too sugary for me. That’s why I LOVE this recipe that uses honey & apple juice instead… Here’s the recipe.

    When preserving the pears have you ever used cider in place of the apple juice? These sound good.. thank you.

Not all holiday gifts need to be ooey gooey sweet. Savory holiday gifts are just as lovely, sometimes even more so. I personally have been off sugar for 3 months now and I’m really nervous for the holiday season to arrive. Having the house fill up with sweets is NOT what I’m wishing for this Christmas. I would LOVE to get one of these Ball® Sharing Jar soup mixes as a gift. Not only are they soothing to the soul, but they are also good for you as well. - WhipperBerry @ballcanning #soupinajar #printabletags #souprecipe

It’s always a bonus to save a little money during the holidays. @ballcanning #giftsinajar #neighborgifts #teachergifts #sconeinajar

As much as we hate to admit it, cold and flu season is on its way. There is nothing more miserable than one of those lousy winter colds. What’s almost just as bad is watching someone you care for dealing with a cold or, Heaven forbid, the flu! I’m always looking for ways to help cheer them up and let them know that we love them and hope for their better health. That’s when I came up with this idea for a Cold and Flu Rescue Kit to share with those loved ones that are suffering. • WhipperBerry
