How to Make Pecan Jam

  1. Combine all ingredients (see ingredients list for measurements) in a large, heavy-bottomed kettle or saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the jam reaches a setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate should wrinkle when pushed with a finger).
  4. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  5. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  6. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, place lids and rings on tightly.
  7. Process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a reliable canning guide for specific instructions).
  8. Remove jars and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying ‘pop’ as the jars seal.
