  include individual quiches, small pastry-wrapped sausages, and
  biscuits with homemade preserves. The most colorful way of presenting
  this recipe is to use innkeeper Virginia Whites language. She advises
  that the preserves will be firmer if the pears are not too ripe.

  mixture in the same pot over very low heat, stirring frequently, for
  at least 6 hours. While hot, pack into hot sterile jars and seal.
