How to Make Pear And Orange Jam With Walnuts
- Peel, core, and finely chop 2 1/2 pounds of ripe pears.
- Peel 2 large oranges (about 1 pound), removing seeds and pith. Finely chop the orange flesh.
- Combine the chopped pears and oranges in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Measure 4 1/2 cups of the pear-orange mixture. Transfer to a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts to the saucepan.
- Measure 7 cups of granulated sugar and set aside.
- Stir 1 box (1.75 ounces) powdered pectin into the fruit mixture in the saucepan.
- Place the saucepan over high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down.
- Immediately add the 7 cups of sugar and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter. Stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Return to a full rolling boil and boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with a metal spoon.
- Stir the jam for 5 minutes to cool slightly and prevent fruit from floating to the surface.
- Quickly ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint or pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, apply lids and rings, and tighten fingertip tight.
- Process in a boiling water bath canner: half-pints for 10 minutes, pints for 15 minutes, adjusting for altitude if necessary.
- Remove jars from canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
