I’ve written this recipe assuming you are using Asian pears, which are lower in acid and need extra lemon for safe canning. With 2 tablespoons of lemon juice per quart jar according to NCHFP, this recipe covers all the safety bases while giving you perfectly spiced, lightly sweet pears that can be eaten on their own or used in pies, cobblers, and other desserts.

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Wash and peel pears. Cut in halves and remove cores. Slice, if desired. To prevent discoloration, keep cut pears in water with some lemon juice during prep.
Boil jars in the pot/water you plan to use to water bath in.
Add above ingredients to your hot quart jar (these are ingredients per jar, so if you're doing multiple, you'll add per quart jar) in order, packing the pears to within an inch of rim. Then pour boiling water (I use a kettle) so that you have 1/2" headspace. Remove air bubbles.
Wipe rims with water/vinegar paper towel, place the flat, then finger tighten the band. Add back into your water bath. Repeat above process as many times as necessary until you've used all your cut pears or filled your water bath canner.
Once filled and rolling boil is established, process for 30 minutes with lid on (adjust for altitude if necessary).
After 30 minutes, turn off heat and remove lid, wait another 5 minutes before removing jars.
Leave undisturbed on the counter for 12 hours and then test your seals.
