Orange Pear Jam image

I am so glad I found this recipe and finally got to make this jam. I did cut the sugar back from 7 cups to 3 cups of sugar. The next time I will try to go down to 2 1/2 or even 2 cups. This jam tastes so delicious with the fresh taste of sweet pears, pineapple and swirled with the tang of orange flavor. It is lighter in texture...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 c sugar
5 c chopped peeled fresh pears
1 can(s) crushed pineapple, drained
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2 pkg (3 oz. each) orange gelatin

Steps:

  • 1. Gather you items to start your jam.
  • 2. In a Dutch oven or large kettle, combine the sugar, pears drained pineapple and lemon juice.
  • 3. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. I used a potato masher in the pan on the pears to get the texture I desired.
  • 4. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved.
  • 5. (Pour into jars or containers; cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and let stand overnight or until set, but not longer than 24 hours. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.) This is how I processed: Or you can give the jars a 15 minute water bath and then set the jars on the counter overnight. Mine jars took awhile to seal. I think it was about 2 hours till I heard the last jar pop/seal. I also did see the jam set up well till the next evening and then it was at a perfect thickness.
