The Universe by Jonathan Harris

This site is absolutely fascinating ... I could waste so much time here :0)

"As humans, we have a long history of projecting our great stories into the night sky. This leads us to wonder: if we were to make new constellations today, what would they be? If we were to paint new pictures in the sky, what would they depict? These questions form the inspiration for Universe, which explores the notions of modern mythology and contemporary constellations."

This recipe is a true treasure and is over 125 years old. Our family has had it over 40 years and passed it on to all our friends, who have done the same.
You're in for a treat!

AMBER PEAR PRESERVES
Makes 4 half pints

4 cups under-ripe pears (always easy to find)
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Peel and chop pears. Cover with sugar and lemon juice: let stand overnight.

THE NEXT DAY:
Place into a large, heavy pot and simmer approximately 2 hours or until pears have turned an amber color. Go by the color more than by the time. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.

Pour into 4 half pint sterilized jars, and seal. Place into boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure a vacuum.

Place onto rack to cool.
