Pear Jam image

If you like the taste of cardamom you will love this jam. I used a combination of Bosc and Asian pears. I peeled the Asians, but not the Bosc. No-sugar dry pectin is used, so there's 50% less sugar in the recipe.

Time 25m

Yield 7-8 half pints

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 -9 pears, cored and chopped (peeling is optional)
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 (1 3/4 ounce) box pectin, Sure-Jell no-sugar, powdered
1/2 teaspoon cardamom, ground
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1 tablespoon ginger, fresh grated
3 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Place 5-1/2 to 6 cups chopped pears and the lemon juice in a heavy pot.
  • Mash pears with a potato masher to desired chunkiness. If you like it fine you can coarsely grind it. But a food processor will make it too pureed for this recipe.
  • Stir-in the powdered pectin, spices and ginger.
  • Bring to a boil and boil hard for one minute.
  • Add the sugar.
  • Bring back to a boil and boil hard for 4-minutes stirring frequently.
  • Ladle into sterile jars, seal and process for 10 minutes.
  • Yield 7 half pints.
