PEAR JAM

Pear Jam image

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!

Time 1h35m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 ½ cups mashed ripe pears
3 tablespoons powdered fruit pectin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup lemon juice
7 ½ cups white sugar
1 teaspoon butter
8 half-pint canning jars with lids and rings, or as needed

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.

Tips:

For the best freezer jam, use ripe, fresh fruit. Overripe or bruised fruit will not yield the best results.
Wash the fruit thoroughly before using it.
If the fruit has a skin that is not easily removed, such as pears, peel it before using it.
Use a sharp knife to cut the fruit into small pieces. This will help the fruit break down and release its juices more easily.
Be sure to measure the fruit correctly. The amount of sugar and pectin you need will depend on the amount of fruit you are using.
Follow the recipe carefully. Freezer jam is a delicate balance of ingredients, and even a small change can affect the final product.
Use clean jars and lids for storing the freezer jam. This will help to prevent contamination.
Label the jars with the date and the type of jam. This will help you keep track of your freezer jam and use it before it spoils.

Conclusion:

Freezer jam is a delicious and easy way to preserve fruit. It is a great way to use up extra fruit, and it can be enjoyed all year long. With a little planning and effort, you can make delicious freezer jam that your family and friends will love.
