List of Ingredients
1-1/2 pounds NW Bartlett Pears
1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 package (2 oz.) powdered fruit pectin
5-1/2 cups sugar
1 jar (8 oz.) red maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
Recipe
You wouldn't think that the addition of maraschino cherries could change the complex flavors of this very easy jam. From a base of Bartlett Pears comes a jam as pretty as it is delicious.
Pare, core and finely chop pears. Measure 2 cups fruit into heavy kettle; add pineapple and lemon juice. Add pectin; stir well.
Bring to boil; stir constantly. Add sugar; mix well. Cook and stir over high heat until mixture comes to full rolling boil. Boil 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and skim. Carefully stir in cherries.
Ladle into clean, hot 1/2-pint canning jars to within 1/8-inch of tops. Seal according to jar manufacturer's directions.
Place jars on rack in canner. Process 5 minutes in boiling water bath with boiling water 2 inches above jar tops.
Remove jars from canner. Cool away from drafts.
