How to Make Pear Vanilla Jam
- Wash and peel the pears. Core them and chop into small, roughly 1/2 inch pieces.
- Combine the chopped pears, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
- 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).
- Remove jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying *pop* as the jars seal.
- Once cooled, check to ensure the jars are sealed properly. Store in a cool, dark place and enjoy!
