PEAR JAM
This has been my favorite jam since I was a little girl. We moved around a lot when I was young; my Grandmother would send this jam to us so that we still felt we were close to 'Grandma's house.' I love it on warm homemade bread or peanut butter and jam sandwiches. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix pears, fruit pectin, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and lemon juice in a large heavy pot; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add sugar all at once, stirring, and bring back to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute. Mix in butter to settle foam.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the pear jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

PEAR JAM
If you like the taste of cardamom you will love this jam. I used a combination of Bosc and Asian pears. I peeled the Asians, but not the Bosc. No-sugar dry pectin is used, so there's 50% less sugar in the recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Place 5-1/2 to 6 cups chopped pears and the lemon juice in a heavy pot.
- Mash pears with a potato masher to desired chunkiness. If you like it fine you can coarsely grind it. But a food processor will make it too pureed for this recipe.
- Stir-in the powdered pectin, spices and ginger.
- Bring to a boil and boil hard for one minute.
- Add the sugar.
- Bring back to a boil and boil hard for 4-minutes stirring frequently.
- Ladle into sterile jars, seal and process for 10 minutes.
- Yield 7 half pints.
Tips:
- Use ripe but firm pears: Overripe pears will result in a jam that is too soft and runny. Underripe pears will not have enough natural pectin, which is essential for a thick jam.
- Peel and core the pears before cooking: This will save you time and effort later on. You can use a vegetable peeler or a paring knife to peel the pears, and a melon baller or a spoon to core them.
- Cook the jam in a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the jam from scorching.
- Stir the jam constantly: This will help to prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Use a candy thermometer to test the doneness of the jam: The jam is ready when it reaches a temperature of 220 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius). You can also test the doneness of the jam by dropping a small amount of it onto a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.
- Can the jam in sterilized jars: This will help to preserve the jam and prevent it from spoiling.
Conclusion:
Pear jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, pancakes, or waffles. It can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and turnovers. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own pear jam at home. So next time you have a bounty of pears, give this recipe a try.
