Como fazer Spiced Pear Jam

Wash, peel, core, and chop 6 pounds ripe pears into 1/2-inch pieces.
In a large Dutch oven, combine the chopped pears, 4 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours, or until the jam has thickened significantly and reaches setting point (a small amount dropped onto a chilled plate should wrinkle when pushed with a finger). Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Skim off any foam that rises to the surface using a metal spoon.
While the jam simmers, prepare your canning jars by sterilizing them in boiling water for 10 minutes. Keep them hot until ready to use.
Carefully ladle the hot jam into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
Remove any air bubbles by running a non-metal utensil around the inside of the jar.
Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth.
Place the lids and rings on the jars, tightening them fingertip tight.
Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude; consult a reliable canning guide for accurate times).
Remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' as the jars seal. Check seals after cooling completely.
