I had to do something with the last of the pears, asian pears, grapes not quite dehydrated enough, and some apples starting to soften, and found this recipe. I did some adapting of my own, and ended up just short of seven quarts. I think I’ll add some chopped nuts when I go to make a jarful into a pie.

Oooh, cherries and apricots and brandy. . . I will absolutely try that next time. Wonderful.

We have an overactive pear tree and I make a similar all fruit mincemeat with apples and pears along with dried cherries and apricots. I also add a goodly snootful of brandy to sweeten the pot. I can’t wait to try your recipe for pear-lemon preserves, that sounds so tasty. Thank you for the recipes

YUM! Pear butter and pear relish are two of most favorite pear products. We do not have access to bushels of pears any longer, so canning them has become cost prohibitive. I keep telling myself…”someday…someday”.

Sounds great. With the meat doesn’t sound appealing to me either, but without sounds good. Pear butter sounds like it would be good too!

Yes, actually–traditional mincemeat contains beef, and/or suet. Not a big fan of the beef in pie. But that’s just me.

Thanks for stopping by. We appreciate comments so much.

Oh that sounds good-now a question: is regular mincemeat with real meat? I should google it, I’ve always wondered.
