ORANGE PEAR JAM

Steps:

• 1. Gather you items to start your jam.
• 2. In a Dutch oven or large kettle, combine the sugar, pears drained pineapple and lemon juice.
• 3. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. I used a potato masher in the pan on the pears to get the texture I desired.

• 5. (Pour into jars or containers; cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and let stand overnight or until set, but not longer than 24 hours. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.) This is how I processed: Or you can give the jars a 15 minute water bath and then set the jars on the counter overnight. Mine jars took awhile to seal. I think it was about 2 hours till I heard the last jar pop/seal. I also did see the jam set up well till the next evening and then it was at a perfect thickness.

PEAR & PINE NUT CONSERVE

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir 6-8 minutes or until tender. Add pears, sugar, orange zest, orange juice and rosemary; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 40-45 minutes or until mixture is thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in pine nuts. Return to a boil; cook and stir 5 minutes longer. , Carefully ladle hot mixture into 5 hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot mixture. Wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight., Place jars into canner with simmering water, ensuring that they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil; process for 10 minutes. Remove jars and cool.

PEAR CONSERVE

Steps:

• Peel, halve and core your pears.
• Dice the pears finely, but not as small as brunoise. I am not going to go into detail here, but one thing I must say is keep your peeled pears submerged in a bowl of water and lemon juice so that they do not oxidize (turn brown).
• In a large, non-reactive (glass, plastic, ceramic) container, layer the sugar and the diced pears. Start with a thin layer of sugar on the bottom and end with sugar covering the top.
• Drizzle the lemon juice over the top layer.
• Close this container tightly and refrigerate overnight (for at least 18 and up to 24 hours).
• Next day, pour out the pears and the syrup they have formed into a deep pot.
• Scrape out the bottom layer of sugar into your pot as well.
• Bring this mix to a boil over high heat, uncovered, stirring.
• When the conserve is quite hot but not boiling, add the pear brandy. It should boil all at once. Stir well.
• Boil the conserve to thicken it and expel alcohol. For true, syrupy conserve, do not overcook. Boil for a scant 3 - 5 minutes. The conserve is done.
• The conserve can be waterbath canned. Properly prepared 6 - 8 oz glass containers should be processed for 10 minutes.
