How to Make Pear Cranberry Conserve
- Combine 4 cups peeled, cored, and chopped pears, 2 cups fresh cranberries, 3 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice in a 6-quart saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes, or until the conserve has thickened significantly and sheets off a metal spoon (it should leave a clear path when you run a spoon across the bottom of the pan).
- Carefully ladle the hot conserve into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
- Remove any air bubbles by gently tapping the jars on the counter. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth.
- Apply lids and screw bands fingertip tight. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude; consult a canning guide for specific instructions).
- Turn off heat and let jars sit undisturbed in the canner for 5 minutes. Remove jars and let cool completely. Listen for the satisfying 'pop' of the seals as the jars cool.
