Pear preserve: Old fashioned preserved pears are so good topped over ice creams, puddings, or even on hot crispy buttered toast. We lived in a beautiful hill station named Coorg before we moved into this city. Unlike city, hills are wonderful place if you love fruits and veggies....and the cold weather!! Seasonal fresh fruits were a delight, pear is something which we used to get in abundance there. Pear is known as "sabarjelly" here in Kerala, and people just peel, slice and consume.....nothing much is done with it....but in the hills, pear is preserved for a year and to be used as toppings. I used to make bottles of this and store; but after moving into the city, I never got a chance to preserve fruits and store; mainly because you do not get it in bulk or it might be expensive. A few days back Homey got some pear from the fruit market....and my son suddenly remembered the preserved ones I used to make and he needed one....and was adamant!! So I took just 750 gms ...
