How to make pear relish:

Mix ingredients in order given. Cook over low heat until thick. Seal in hot jars; store in dark place.

One-half of plain flour, mixed with some of the saved pear juice, can be used to make a thin paste. Stir this into the mixture after it is done; this cuts down on cooking time. In either case, make sure the relish is thick.
