• Meanwhile, in large kettle, cover 2 pint or 4 half-pint canning jars with water and heat to boiling over high heat; boil 10 minutes to sterilize. Drain jars on clean towel. In small saucepan, cover the jar lids and bands with water and heat to simmering. Remove from heat and leave lids and bands in water until ready to use

GINGER PEAR CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 1 1/2 hours, continuing to stir occasionally.

Take the canner off the heat and let water stop boiling before removing jars. Carefully remove jars and let sit. As they cool, the jars will seal themselves with a"pop". Label, and store in cool, dry, dark place.
• To prepare the jars, I first wash them in the dishwasher, or in the sink with very hot, soapy water, then rinse them well and put them in a warm oven, taking the jars out one or two at a time when filling them.
• I soak the lids in very hot water and put them immediately from the hot water onto the filled jars, making sure the rims of the jars are clean, then add the rings (which I've also soaked in hot water) and screw them on the jars just finger tight.
