Pear Pineapple Ginger Jam
Ingredients
- 12 pears, cleaned, cored, peeled and sliced into 1" pieces
- 1 3" stub of ginger, peeled
- 1 whole pineapple, cleaned, cored and cut into 1" cubes ⓘ
- 1 cup lemon juice (app. 4 big lemons juiced) ⓘ
- 4.5 cups organic sugar ⓘ
- 1.5 tablespoons vanilla extract ⓘ
- 3 tablespoons crystallized ginger, finely chopped ⓘ
Instructions
- Toss all the ingredients into a pot on the stove. Simmer over medium-low heat until tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low; simmer until mixture drops thickly from spoon, stirring often, about 1 hour.
- Remove the ginger carefully.
- While still hot, pour the jam into 10 sterilized 4-ounce jars and water-bath them according to your own canning process. I water-bathed these jars for about 20 minutes, and then carefully removed the jars to rest on a towel until cool (over night).
- Label the jars and give away liberally! (This jam is gorgeous on bread with a pat of butter, or stirred into granola and yogurt, or alongside a nice cheddar with crackers.)
