Side Dish Sauces and Condiments Canning and Preserving Recipes Jams and Jellies Recipes Pear Jam 4.4 (47) 38 Reviews 9 Photos This pear jam has been my favorite jam since I was a little girl. We moved around a lot when I was young; my grandmother would send this jam to us so that we still felt we were close to Grandma's house. I love it on warm homemade bread or peanut butter and jam sandwiches. Recipe by foodinmybelly Updated on May 16, 2023 Save Saved!

Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Mix pears, lemon juice, fruit pectin, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg in a large heavy pot; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Add sugar all at once, stirring, and bring back to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Mix in butter to settle foam. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Pack the pear jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw-on rings. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
