Reviews of soaked pears

Ilyina Natalya Borisovna, 48 years old, Surgut
I'm bad at writing reviews, but good at giving advice. Soaked pears taste better if you add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and vanilla to the jar, even when the recipe does not provide for this. I always do this myself.
Romanov Sergey Viktorovich, 32 years old, St. Petersburg
This year I tried to buy and soak different fruits and berries. I prepared apples, pears, lingonberries, and blueberries. My favorite was the pears with honey. I'll do it again next year.
Grigoriev Igor Konstantinovich, Moscow
There was a big harvest, my wife preserved the pears in different ways. Jam, jam, slightly soaked whole fruits. I made it with yogurt. It turned out to be an unusual dish. But they ate it in less than a month. Next year I will collect all the pears so that not a single one goes missing.

Terms and conditions of storage

It is easy to preserve harvested fruits by following these rules:

  • a dark place is best for storage;
  • coolness will extend the shelf life of the product;
  • if a dish in jars can be put in the refrigerator, then barrels, tubs and buckets are not kept in the rooms;
  • If there are basements, hallways, or cold hallways, canned fruits are stored there.

The total shelf life of the finished product is 6 months. Sterilization and refrigeration increase shelf life.

Important! There is an opinion that a fully matured product will remain at room temperature. This is only possible for 1–2 weeks. Then souring will begin and mold will appear.
