I don't know if this will put you any closer to Pear Preserves but I have a note in a recipe book that says"
"Pear Preserves - See Southern Living Annual Recipes - 1982 - Page 195"
The only problem is I sold the book at a yard sale...... Maybe someone here has it.

PEAR PRESERVES
Source: Southern Living 1982 Annual Recipes , pg. 195
10 large pears, peeled, cored, and chopped
4 1/2 cups sugar
3 cups water
2 lemons, thinly sliced
Place pears in a 3-quart Dutch oven, and add water to cover. Bring to a boil; then reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook until pears are tender (about 15 minutes). Drain well.
Combine sugar and 3 cups water in a 6-quart Dutch oven; bring to a boil, and cook 10 minutes (mixture will be a thin transparent syrup). Remove from heat, and let cool 15 minutes.
Stir in pears and lemon slices; bring mixture to a rapid boil. Boil rapidly until pears are transparent (about 45 minutes), stirring occasionally.
Pour pear mixture into a shallow 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan; skim off foam with a metal spoon. Let stand, uncovered, in a cool place for 12 hours; shake pan occasionally (do not stir) so pears will absorb the syrup. Skim off excess foam.
Using a slotted spoon, spoon the fruit into hot sterilized jars. Bring syrup to a boil; pour over fruit, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Cover at once with metal lids, and screw bands tight. Process in boiling-water bath 10 minutes. Yield: 7 half pints.
