How to Make Paradise Pear Jam
- Remove the rind from 1 large orange and 1 lemon in quarters.
- Discard approximately half of the white pith from the orange and lemon rinds.
- Thinly slice the rinds using a vegetable peeler or sharp knife.
- Chop the remaining orange and lemon pulp, discarding any seeds.
- Peel, core, and coarsely chop 4 large ripe pears.
- Combine the chopped pears, orange pulp, lemon pulp, sliced rinds, cherries, and crushed pineapple (including its juice) in a large bowl.
- Measure 4 1/2 cups of the fruit mixture into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Stir in the powdered pectin.
- Place the saucepan over high heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down.
- Immediately stir in 4 cups of granulated sugar.
- Return the mixture to a full rolling boil and boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface using a spoon.
- Stir the jam gently for 5 minutes to cool slightly and prevent fruit from floating to the top.
- Quickly ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- Seal the jars immediately using the appropriate lids and rings.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
