      Title: PEAR MARMALADE
  Categories: Preserves
       Yield: 1 Servings
  
      10 lb Pears
      10 lb Sugar
       6    Oranges
       3    Lemons
            Chopped walnuts & maraschino
            Cherries (if desired)
  
   Cut pears in medium-sized pieces, mix with sugar and let stand till
   some juice forms.  Boil down till it starts to thicken slightly.
   Squeeze juice from oranges and lemons. Slice oranges and lemon skins
   thinly or put through grinder.  Steam skins till tender and add to
   pears along with juice.  Continue boiling till of desired thickness.
   (Marmalade is more apt to stick during this second boiling so boil
   pears away sufficiently before adding oranges and lemons.) Add
   chopped walnuts and cherries just before sealing if desired. Source:
