Ingredients
- 4 pounds pear
- 2 to 4 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
Instructions
- Peel, core and dice the pears into small pieces.
- Toss the pears in the sugar and lemon juice. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours. If you’re short on time, reduce this step to a minimum of 4 hours but no less.
- Prepare a water bath canner. Place the pear mixture into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil on high heat. Note that the mixture will foam, so choose a saucepan large enough to avoid spillage.
- Stir the mixture occasionally, and cook for about 10-15 minutes. If needed, slightly crush any large pieces of pear with a potato masher.
- When the preserves reach the gel stage, check the temperature with an instant-read thermometer. It should read 220°F at sea level and slightly below for higher elevations.
- Immediately remove the preserves from the heat and pack them into mason jars with a ¼-inch headspace. Seal with 2-part canning lids.
- Store the pear jam in the fridge for immediate use or process in a water bath canner for 5 minutes. Turn off the canner and allow the jars to sit for 5 minutes before removing them to a towel on the counter. Check for seals after a few hours and store any unsealed jars in the fridge.
