- Lightly spiced Pear Jam<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
8 cups Pears, peeled and chopped
\n4 cups Sugar
\n1\/2 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
\n1\/8 teaspoon ground Cloves
\nsplash of Vanilla<\/p>\nPeel and chop pears into 8cup measuring cup.
\nPour into large stainless steel pot.
\nStir in sugar, cinnamon and cloves; bring to a boil over medium heat.
\nReduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 60 to 90 minutes.
\nStir in a splash of vanilla.
\nRemove the jam from heat, stir and skim off foam for about 10 minutes to prevent floating fruit.
\nLadle jam into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1\/4″ headroom.
\nWipe rims with a clean towel and seal.
\nAllow the jars to cool on a clean towel before storing in fridge for up to 6 months for unopened jars.<\/p>\nIf you want to keep jam in the pantry then you will need to process your sealed jars in a boiling water canner for 10 to 11 minutes.
\nRemove from canner and allow to cool completely on clean tea towel before storing in a cool, dark place.<\/p>\n* I didn’t using the canning process because, quite frankly, I don’t see this jam hanging around for very long! I will give some away and keep some in the fridge.<\/p>\n
