I noticed in the "What are You Putting Up?" thread that several people mentioned they were canning pears.
One thing I enjoy doing with the hard canning pears is cooking them in heavy syrup, then dehydrating them. You end up with a sweet, chewy, pear-flavored candy.
Since I don't like canned pears a lot, that's what I used to do with the tons of pears Dad gave us every year.
Also, when canned pears begin darkening and don't look too appetizing, you can take them out of the jars and dehydrate them and make them fun to eat again.
This also works with almost any fruit you can cook in a syrup.
Besides being good for snacks, they are good added to baked goods.
