Best 8 Pineapple Pear Jam Recipes

PEAR AND PINEAPPLE JAM

Steps:

• Peel, quarter and core the pears. Cut the pears and the pineapple into pieces about the size of a lima bean.
• Combine the fruit, water and lemon juice in a heavy, non-reactive 5-quart pan. Cover the pan and bring it to a boil. Uncover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add 1/2 cup of the sugar, then allow the liquid to return to a boil before adding the last 1/2 cup of sugar. Continue cooking the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce the jam to 3 1/2 cups and until the mixture reaches 212º-214º on an instant read thermometer. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest.
• Fill hot, sterilized jars to within 1/4" of the lips. Wipe the rims clean, place new lids on the jars, and screw the caps on tightly. Invert quickly for a quick vacuum seal, or process in a boiling water bath, submerged by 1 inch, for 10 minutes.

PEAR JAM

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.

PINEAPPLE-PEACH JAM

Steps:

• Immerse 8 to 10 half-pint jars in simmering water until sauce is ready. Wash lids and rings in warm soapy water. Set aside.
• Combine peaches and pineapple in a large pot. Cook and stir over medium heat until fruit juices are released, 6 to 10 minutes. Add lemon juice, stirring continuously. Add sugar and stir. Add pectin; cook and stir until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw on rings finger-tight.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.

PEAR PINEAPPLE PRESERVES!

Steps:

• 1. Prepare and sterilize jars and jar rings. Keep jars warm in boiling hot water or on the Heated dry setting of your dishwasher until ready to use. I generally use the Rinse cyle just before using the jars for canning.
• 2. Mash pears, add crushed pineapple and juice. Pour fruit into a 6 or 8 quart saucepan.
• 3. Gradually stir in pectin. Over high heat, and stirring constantly bring fruit to full boil that cannot be stirred down.
• 4. Add entire amount of sugar all at once and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• 5. Skim foam from top. Ladle into hot jars and fill 1/8 inch from the top. Make sure to use a wet paper towel to clean rim of jar of any preserve on rim.
• 6. Carefully place lids and tighten rings. Process in a water boiling canner or steam canner for 5 minutes for 1/2 Pints and 10 minutes for Pints.
• 7. Add an additional five minutes for every 3,000 miles above sea level.
• 8. Enjoy and don't forget to give a few away for others to enjoy too!! :) Enjoy Jamming!!

Simmer over medium-low heat until tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add pineapple, sugar and lemon juice. Reduce heat to low; simmer until mixture drops thickly from spoon, stirring often, about 1 hour. Cool. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover; chill.)

PINEAPPLE JAM

Steps:

• Peel the pineapple and grate the flesh -- you should end up with about 2 cups. Put the pineapple and water in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until the pineapple is soft, about 35 minutes.
• Add the sugar and lime juice and stir to combine. Cook until the mixture has thickened, about 45 to 60 minutes. Spoon the jam into a 16-ounce jar with a tight-fitting lid. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

PEACH PINEAPPLE JAM

Steps:

• In a large kettle, combine peaches that have been washed, peeled, pitted and chopped with pineapple, lemon juice and cherries.
• Add pectin and mix together.
• Over medium high heat, bring to a boil stirring constantly.
• Add the sugar all at once, mix well and return to a full rolling boil, adding 1/2 tsp butter if needed to reduce foaming.
• When it reaches the full rolling boil, boil for 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and continue to stir for a couple minutes. If need be, skim foam off the top. Pour into hot jars.
• If needed wipe edge of jars and then put lids and rings on. Get them as tight as you can by hand and turn upside down. Set timer for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes, turn right side up and let sit in an area free from drafts until cooled.
• If desired you can water process. Either way if the jar does not seal, put it in the fridge and use it first.
