How is it possible that a Grand-mother preserves fruit? For the first sight it is impossible...
Let's see the procedure step-by-step:
1) Select the fruit you will preserve. (this is a very old-fashioned custom, a Grand-mother starts here)
2) Choose the method of preserving you will use. (Grand-mothers have a style, they don't know all methods)
3) Choose a firm fleshed fruit like pears, apples, or peaches to begin with. (fresh fruit is healthier and more tasty)
4) Peel the fruit. (this reminds me of the military, a task for young and strong men)
5) Cut the fruit in half, usually top to bottom, and remove the core and stem. (you can cut yourself only a little)
6) Slice the fruit to the size you prefer. (China)
7) Place the fruit in a pot large enough to cook it without boiling over, add an inch or so of water, and place on a stove burner on high or medium high. (full tilt)
8) Add sugar to suit your taste, but at least enough to create a syrup for the canning medium you will need later on. (chemistry)
9) Add additional seasonings if you like. (you have got options)
10) Bring the combined ingredients to a boil, and reduce heat to medium or medium low, just enough to keep it boiling. (slowly forward)
11) Prepare your jars, rings, and lids while the fruit is cooking. (for adult men only)
12) Cook the fruit at a low boil until tender, usually only about 20 minutes or so. (occultism)
13) Turn off the burner under the pot, then move the pot to a location near your jars. (worshipping of the grand-children)
14) Scoop the fruit out of the pot into the jars, filling them to about half an inch of the top. (women have less appetite)
15) Fill the jars to within a quarter inch or so of the top with the syrup, and as they are filled, place the lids on each one and screw on a band, tightening it snugly. (it takes strength)
16) Process your jars of fruit. (justice must be)
17) Boil the jars with the water level half an inch or so above the tops for the recommended amount of time for the jar size and fruit you are using. (this requires some research)
18) Place the jars on a dish towel on the counter or table to cool down. (this is beautiful)
19) Wipe the jars, lids, and rings dry to keep them from rusting, and store in a cool, dry place. (finally, Grand-mothers are housewives, too)

So the step-by-step analysis of preserving fruit explains already much... I still have the feeling that there must be hidden forces that Grand-mothers possess...
