Pear Vanilla Jam Recipe

This Pear Vanilla Jam recipe is a delightful twist on classic pear preserves! Made with a unique blend of Bosc and Asian pears, this jam boasts a luxuriously sweet flavor that's perfect for spreading on toast, waffles, biscuits, or even enjoying with peanut butter. While incredibly sweet on its own (a warning to hungry friends!), its sweetness perfectly complements other flavors, making it a versatile and delicious addition to your breakfast or snack routine. I've perfected this recipe after experimenting with several others, resulting in a truly irresistible treat. Get ready to experience a burst of pear and vanilla flavor in every spoonful!

How to Make Pear Vanilla Jam

  1. Wash and peel the pears. Core them and chop into small, roughly 1/2 inch pieces.
  2. Combine the chopped pears, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently for approximately 60-70 minutes, or until the jam reaches setting point (the jam will sheet off a spoon). Stir frequently to prevent sticking and burning.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
  6. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal with lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (this step is crucial for ensuring proper sealing and shelf stability).
  8. Remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying *pop* as the jars seal.
  9. Once cooled, check to ensure the jars are sealed properly. Store in a cool, dark place and enjoy!
