Pear Jam
Ingredients:
4 cups pears, peeled, cored and diced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 box or 6 tablespoons fruit pectin, (I use powered pectin)
4-5 cups of granulated sugar*
1/2 teaspoon butter
Steps
1. Prepare water bath canner, sterilize jars, lids and rings.
2. Using a heavy 6-8 quart sauce pan add pears, lemon juice and pectin. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring to a rolling boil. Add sugar. *if your pears are very ripe, you may need less sugar. Bring to a rolling boil and boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim any foam off.
3. Pour into prepared jars, ensuring the rims are clean and place lids. Process for 10 minutes and let rest.
