How to Make Microwave Winter Pear Amaretto Jam

  1. Combine 2 cups peeled, cored, and chopped pears, 1/2 cup peeled and chopped apple, 1/2 cup apple juice, and 1/4 cup liquid pectin in a 3-quart microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Microwave on high for 6 minutes, uncovered, stirring twice until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  3. Add 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar.
  4. Microwave on high for 4 minutes, uncovered, until the mixture returns to a full rolling boil and boils hard for 1 minute. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
  5. Remove from microwave and stir in 1/4 cup Amaretto liqueur.
  6. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Use the inversion method to check for a proper seal or process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
