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.

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.
