This pear and cranberry jam is simple and versatile.\u2002I like to use different varieties of pears each time I make a batch.\u2002Depending on the variety of pear you use, some batches may be a wee bit more sweet or tart.\u2002No matter what, you will have a jam that will be loved by all.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n


Ingredients<\/span><\/strong>:
4 to 5 cups mashed pears
2 cups cranberries (fresh or frozen)
1\/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons pectin (I do not always use)
1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1\/4 teaspoon cloves
1\/4 teaspoon allspice
1\/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 cups of sugar
1 teaspoon unsalted butter (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions<\/span><\/strong>:
1.\u2002Mix pears, cranberries, lemon juice, spices, and 2 cups of sugar in a large pot and bring to a boil as you stir.\u2002I start out on medium heat to get the pears and cranberries warm and then turn up to medium high and bring to a boil.\u2002Since you are making jam, the pears need to be able to break down.\u2002Use a potato masher and mash down the pears and cranberries.\u2002If they are still a wee bit hard, boil for a few minutes more or until you can mash the pears.
2.\u2002Add the rest of the sugar and pectin and bring back to a boil.\u2002Stir!!\u2002Let this boil for 1 minute.
3.\u2002Add the butter.
4.\u2002Can\/preserve as you normally would for any type of jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one fantastic jam and I love it on English Muffins, waffles, and it goes well with sharp cheddar cheese and brie on crackers!!\u2002I never use the pectin so this is totally up to you.\u2002Pectin makes the jam more solid and I like mine a wee bit runny.\u2002Enjoy!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
