Yes it does. Thank you very much. We managed 7 quarts and are about to finish canning the rest tonight.

Tina, When heating the jars in the water bath canner, you can leave the lids and bands aside for now. Just place the empty jars in the canner on the rack, then fill the canner with water. The jars should be completely filled and covered with water. The lids and bands will be used later once the jars are filled with the prepared pears. Does this help?

That part was unclear to me.

I haven’t canned Pears for prob 30 or more years. This whole recipe gave perfect info plus more. I shared with family and friends about how to determine the ripeness. I loved this detailed description. I had a couple slices of fruit that wouldn’t fit in the last jar…. simply delish. Thank you. I’m sitting here listening to my jars “pop”. I love that sound!
