Does anyone have a good reciepe for Pear Jelly/Jam? Or one that has apple/pears or some other fruit with pears as a jelly or jam? I have alot of pears to use up and wish to make some jam or jelly. Some of the reciepes I found was pears IN jelly and that is not what I am looking for. I am new to making this stuff but did make a great Mint apple jelly over the weekend and would like something similar but with pears :) Plus any books that might have these in them would be nice too. |

Hi Pam, thought maybe I could try to help you out. I have never tried these recipes myself, but they are in the BALL BLUE BOOK OF PRESERVING, and this book has never let me down! Hope these help! PEAR JAM
Combine fruit, sugar and lemon juice in a large saucepot. Bring slowly to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Stir in liquid pectin. Return to a rolling boil. Boil hard for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust 2 piece caps. Process 10 minutes in a boiling water canner. VARIATION: Add 1 teaspoon whole cloves, 1/2 teaspoon whole allspice, and 1 cinnamon stick tied in a spice bag to jam while cooking. Remove before filling jars. Yield: 8 half pints SPICED APPLE-PEAR FREEZER JAM
Combine apples, pears and water in a saucepot. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Lightly crush fruit. Measure 4 cups cooked fruit. Combine cooked fruit, sugars and spices in a medium bowl. Let stand 15 minutes. Gradually stir freezer jam pectin into fruit mixture. Stir 3 minutes; Let stand 5 minutes. Ladle jam into can-or-freeze jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Adjust 2 piece caps. Label and freeze. YIELD: 5 half pints Last Edited on: 9/2/08 5:59 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

Hi Pam,
I have the BALL BLUE BOOK (1963) and in it there are a bunch of other recipes for pears in case you have more pears that you know what to do with: baked, pear butter, chutney, and pear pickles. My mother-in-law makes pear butter every year and it is really nice. If you want any of the recipes, just PM me.

I just got some pears from a friend of ours this weekend. I made the pear Jam that Jamie gave you the recipe for. It was super easy and we tried it this morning MMMMMMMMM good is all I can say. It is a tad sweet, but I didn't want to adjust the sugar in case it would mess up the gel stage. So yup, that one is a tried and true recipe. good luck!! |
