Years ago, when I complained my pear jam was bland, an aunt suggested that I add plum pulp to my next batch, recalls Margaret Zickert from Deerfield, Wisconsin. I did...and then I won the grand prize in a recipe contest with the thick tasty results!
Ingredients:
3 cups chopped or coarsely ground peeled pears
1 cup chopped or coarsely ground pitted plums
1 package (1-3/4 ounces) powdered fruit pectin
5-1/2 cups sugar
Directions:
1. In a kettle, combine pears and plums. Stir in pectin. Bring to full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar; return to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; skim off foam.
2. Pour into jars or freezer containers and cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and let stand overnight or until set, but no longer than 24 hours. Refrigerate or freeze. Yield: 6 cups.
