    Hey Marie,
    3 pounds of pears will most likely be about 4-8 pears depending on size. We do not have a cup measurement but hopefully that helps.

  2. Marie Seibel says:

    Question. I’ve already peeled and prepped my pears. How many cups for this recipe?

  3. Good recipe. However, it took me more than 20 minutes to get this jam thick. Should it be a pouring consistency or what?

  4. Rex says:

    What about any citric acid or sure jell
