Ginger Pears (Four pounds of hard pears)

Four pounds of hard pears, after they are pared and cored, four pounds of sugar, four good-sized lemons, four ounces of green ginger root. Peel off the yellow rind from the lemons, and cook until tender; then chop very fine; squeeze the juice from the lemons. Scrape the skin from the ginger root and chop very fine; chop the pears. Mix the ingredients and cook three or four hours over a slow fire. Put in jelly glasses or small jars.
