PEAR SAUCE (MY VERSION)
1 20lb box ripe pears
2 qt water
3/4 cup minit tapioca
sugar to taste (maybe three cups?)
Quarter
pears; don't bother to peel and core. Toss into 3 gallon stock pot and
add water. Bring to a boil and simmer till soft, approximately 30
minutes. Crank through strainer. Add tapioca and sugar. Put into quart
jars. Put lids on and hot water bath 30 minutes. (If sauce gets quite
cool between the jar stage and boiling time, then simmer in canner 45
minutes.) This makes 9 to 10 quarts. I ran out of jars today so I ended
up open kettle cooking some of the sauce and putting it into individual
Dixie cups for the freezer for lunches. If you choose to cook it watch
it carefully as it scorches easily. You don't need to simmer it long;
maybe five minutes. Cool before pouring into containers.
