How to Make Orange Pear Jam
- Peel, core, and chop 4 large ripe pears into 1/2-inch pieces.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the chopped pears, 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 4 cups granulated sugar.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently. The jam will thicken as it simmers.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 package (1 ounce) powdered fruit pectin and 2 tablespoons of orange zest.
- Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place lids and rings on top, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for pints) or 15 minutes (for quarts).
- Remove the jars from the water bath and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
- Check seals. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to one year. Unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within a few weeks.
