Perfect Pear Jam

This particular Perfect Pear Jam recipe takes a little bit of time investment but worth all the wait! I suggest leaving the pear mixture to soak in all the goodness from the sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest, before boiling it to make your homemade jam. This can take a couple hours, but definitely enhances all the flavor. Refrigerate, freeze or process and store in a dry, cool place.

To make Perfect Pear Jam, you will need the following ingredients:

So, how to make Perfect Pear Jam?

Steps to make Perfect Pear Jam

1	Combine ingredients	3
In a large bowl, coat pears with lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar and stir well to combine everything.
2	Rest pears	4h
Cover and allow mixture to sit on the counter at least 1-8 hours, or overnight, to absorb all the flavors.
3	Boil pear mixture	10
Transfer rested pears to a heavy-bottomed, non-reactive pan and over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, preventing any sticking to the base of the pan and reducing foam accumulation.
4	Mash pear mixture	2
Once soft, mash the pear chunks with a potato masher. For a completely smooth jam, mash completely.
5	Second boil	10
Boil again, for a further 5-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the jam reaches a temperature of 220°F and thickens.
6	Transfer to jars	5
Once jam has reached desired thickness, pour mixture into hot, sterilized jars, leaving ¼-inch space from the top. Burst any air bubbles by pressing the jam firmly into the jar.
7	Refrigerate
Seal with tight fitting lids and store in the refrigerator for 3 months or freeze for up to 6 months.
8	Canning process	15
Remove any excess from the rims of the jars and seal. Place jars in water bath, submerging them completely into the boiling water for 15 minutes to process. Remove with tongs.
9	Store
Rest to cool completely before storing them in a dry, cool place.
