3. 3 Place the pot over medium-high heat, bring to a boil; cook, stirring often, until preserves are thick and fall off a metal spoon in sheets, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Pear pieces will be translucent and preserves will be darkened.
4. 4 Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
5. 5 Pack the pear preserves into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top.
