This is what I'm going to make this weekend. My pear tree is laden with ripe fruit and I am ready to do some canning!
Lani, this one is for you :)
Gingered Pear Jam
3 lb fresh Bartlett pears
1 orange
1/2 lemon
1/2c diced candied ginger
1 pkg fruit pectin (1.75 oz)
5c sugar
Core and finely dice pears to make 4 cups. Put orange and lemon through food chopper, or process coarsely. Combine pears, orange, lemon, candied ginger, and fruit pectin. Bring to boil. Add sugar and bring back to full rolling boil. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim with metal spoon. Cool 5 minutes, skim again. Put in sterilized jars and seal. Process according to manufacturer's directions. Makes about 6 half pints.
I have made this with Splenda instead of sugar, using the pectin designed for sugar-free recipes, and it worked great and tasted yummy, too.

Thank you, thank you! I do have one stupid question: do you peel the orange & lemon before you process them?
