CRANBERRY PEAR JAM RECIPE
Choose this cranberry pear preserves recipe as a luscious breakfast topping for creamy yogurt and granola parfaits, toast, or fresh croissants. This harvest fruit jam also makes a lovely accompaniment to roasted poultry or a European cheese board. These preserves are considered a classical, French confiture; they require no pectin, only sugar, to thicken into a hearty confection. Cook's note: One cup of dried cranberries may be substituted for 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries. Reduce the sugar to 3 cups, and shorten the cooking time because of the reduced liquids in the recipe.

Steps:
- How to make cranberry pear preserves:
- Add the chopped pears, sugar, cranberries, and ground cinnamon to a large saucepan and bring them to a simmer over medium heat. The cranberries may make a popping sound as burst. Lower the heat slightly, and simmer the jam, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 90 minutes to 2 hours.
- Remove the cranberry pear jam from the heat and skim off the foam with a clean spoon. Ladle the jam into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headroom. Wipe the rims with a clean towel, seal, and process in a boiling water canner for 10 to 11 minutes.
- Allow the jar to cool on a clean towel and check the seals before storing the jam in a cool, dark place.
- This cranberry pear jam recipe makes 6 half-pints.
