Time 1h5m

Yield 8 oz. jars, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups fresh cranberries (24 oz)
1 cup pomegranate juice

3 teaspoons pectin

Steps:

  • Core, peel, and chop pears into medium size pieces.
  • Heat the cranberries, pears and pomegranate juice in a large pot over medium/high heat to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. The cranberries will begin to pop and mixture will begin to get thick.
  • Puree mixture right in pot with electric soup mixer or remove mixture from pot and blend in blender. Since this is a jam it shouldn't be too chunky. I like my jams smooth.
  • Combine sugar and pectin in a bowl. Add sugar/pectin mixture to the pot and then add the lemon juice and rind.
  • Simmer another 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Pour mixture into clean jars and wipe the rims clean. Attached the lids and submerge in a hot water bath (200 degrees or boiling) for ten minutes. Once removed from water lids will pop and that is how you know they are sealed.
  • Let cool on kitchen counter. Makes just about 7 half pint 8 oz. jars.
  • *************.
  • VARIATION:.
  • Follow recipe instructions and Instead of pomegranate juice, add 1 cup orange juice and instead of lemon juice and rind, add 2 tablespoons of orange rind. This is good with a dash of cinnamon too! A dash is about 1/2 teaspoon or a little more.

CRANBERRY PEAR JAM



Cranberry Pear Jam image

My pear tree is loaded this year, they aren't large pears;but there is a gracious plenty of them. I especially liked the fact that this recipe was low in sugar.....for a jam. I got this recipe from the book "Preserving Made Easy, Small Batches and Simple Techniques" by Ellie Topp and Margaret Howard.

Categories     Jams & Jellies

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 c peeled, cored, diced pears
3 c chopped cranberrys
1/2 c water
2 tsp lemon rind
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 3/4 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Peel, core and dice pears. Chop cranberrys in food processor. Frozen cranberrys are very noisy.....you might want ear protection, I did!
  • 2. In a large heavy pan combine the pears, cranberrys, water and lemon rind. Bring it to a boil. Reduce heat. Cook 5 min.
  • 3. Gradually add in the lemon juice and sugar. Boil rapidly for 15 minutes. Process 10 minutes.
  • 4. I didn't put in the usual steps for water bath canning. Sterilizing the jars, lids and rings;but you need to do that as usual.

CRANBERRY-PEAR CRUMBLE BARS



Cranberry-Pear Crumble Bars image

Sweet pears and tart cranberries pair perfectly in these treats, which are part bar cookie, and part fruit crisp. Here, both crust and crumble topping are made from the same almond flour-rolled oat mixture mixture, giving it a nutty flavor. Precooking the filling allows the fruit to soften and release some juices ahead of time so the bottom crust stays nice and crisp. The result is a chewy, fruity cookie that just as easily a perfect afternoon snack as it is a paired with some ice cream for dessert. Choose pears that are on the firm side of ripe: Comice and Anjou both work great.

Time 1h

Yield One 9x9-inch pan

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound/454 grams pears (2 large), ripe but firm
2 cups/200 grams fresh cranberries
1/2 cup/101 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/220 grams light brown sugar, packed
1 cup/112 grams almond flour
1 cup/99 grams rolled oats
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup/227 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Prepare filling: Peel, core and chop the pears into 1/2-inch pieces. You should have about 2 1/2 cups of chopped pears. Add pears, cranberries, sugar and orange juice to a heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until pears soften, cranberries burst, and juices are thickened and jammy, 7 to 10 minutes. Add vanilla, orange zest and fresh ginger and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let cool while you prepare the crust.
  • Prepare crust and crumble: In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, almond flour, oats and salt. Stir to combine. Add butter and almond extract, and stir until crumbs are well moistened.
  • Reserve about 2 1/2 cups/360 grams of the mixture for the topping. Pour remaining crumbs into prepared dish and press them into an even layer. Bake the crust until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Spoon filling (it's O.K. if it's still warm) evenly over the hot crust, top with reserved crumbs, and return pan to oven. Bake until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the bars cool slightly before cutting and serving.

Tips:

  • To make your jam set faster, use a wide, shallow pan so that the jam evaporates more quickly.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the jam by dropping a small amount onto a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's ready.
  • To prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pan, stir it constantly.
  • If you want a smoother jam, puree it with an immersion blender or food processor before canning it.
  • For a unique flavor, add a splash of bourbon or brandy to the jam.

Conclusion:

This recipe for cranberry, pear, and lemon jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, or pancakes. It's also a great addition to cheese plates and charcuterie boards. With its bright flavor and beautiful color, this jam is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
