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 VANILLA JAM
There were a lot of good looking recipes kicking around here for various pear jellies and jams, but none were quite what I was looking for. So I tinkered with existing recipes and came up with this one. It's very sugary sweet, which scared off some friends of mine when they tasted it straight out of the jar. (TIP: never leave jars of jam out around your hungry bachelor friends!) When they came to their senses and tried it on something (toast, waffles, biscuits, oatmeal, etc.), they were won over. This goes great with peanut butter too. (I make this with a mix of half Bosch and half Asian pears.)

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.

Tips:
- To make the pear jam, you will need a few basic ingredients: pears, sugar, lemon juice, and pectin. You can also add other flavorings, such as vanilla extract or ground cinnamon, to taste.
- The type of pear you use will affect the flavor and texture of the jam. Bosc pears are a good choice because they are firm and hold their shape well. You can also use Bartlett pears, but they will be softer and may not hold their shape as well.
- Be sure to peel and core the pears before you cook them. This will help to remove any blemishes or bruises, and it will also make the jam smoother.
- You can use a food processor or a blender to chop the pears. If you are using a food processor, be sure to pulse the pears until they are finely chopped. If you are using a blender, be sure to blend the pears until they are smooth.
- Cook the pear jam over medium heat until it reaches a rolling boil. This will help to thicken the jam and to prevent it from burning.
- Once the jam has reached a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. This will help to develop the flavor of the jam.
- Remove the jam from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and pectin. This will help to thicken the jam and to prevent it from crystallizing.
- Pour the jam into sterilized jars and seal them tightly. The jam can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
