Full of fruity flavor, this delightful jam is a great toast topper. Delores Ward of Decatur, Indiana came up with the recipe when a neighbor gave her an armload of pears. Everyone really likes it, says Delores. Ingredients:
7 cups sugar |
5 cups chopped peeled fresh pears |
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 packages (3 ounces each) orange gelatin |
Directions:
1. In a Dutch oven, combine the sugar, pears, pineapple and lemon juice. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved.
2. Pour into jars or containers; cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and let stand overnight or until set, but no longer than 24 hours. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks. Yield: about 7 cups.
