Delicious Pear Jam


I think we have a new favorite jam this year!  So flavorful and delicious, I was pretty impressed.  It is also really easy to make.  You don’t even need to peel the pears. 

Pear Jam 

8 cups diced pears
1 cup apple juice or water
1 box pectin
5 cups granulated sugar
2 Tbs. pure vanilla extract 

In a large heavy bottom pan place pears and water.  Stir in pectin and bring to a full boil.  Add sugar and return to a full rolling boil.  Boil for one minute and remove from heat.  Skim foam.  Stir in vanilla.  Ladle into hot sterile jelly jars.  Clean jar rims and add sterile lids and rings.  Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.  Remove to cool.  Makes about 10 half pint jars of jam. 


I definitely recommend this one!  Wonderful on biscuits, cornbread and toast.  Terrific on pancakes and waffles.  This jam won’t last long in our house.
