Pear juice for the winter : method one
It is very convenient if there is a juicer as a kitchen “assistant”. In this case, freshly cut fruits in the form of slices, from which the core is necessarily removed, pass through a modern device. Pour the resulting pear juice in jars and sterilize by placing the containers filled with the drink in a pan with cold water. Bringing it to a boil gradually, leave 1.5-2 l cans to warm up with moderate gurgling for 45-50 minutes. If desired, you can add a little sugar to the juice to taste.
