CONFETTI AMBROSIA JAM
Was getting desperate to finish using up the lovely little green pears I was given & made several recipes from Zaar. I loved the color and flavor composition of Recipe#94467 but it is so sweet it made my teeth ache. After making Recipe#137323 I realized I could increase the lemon juice & use no-sugar pectin. Since Amy's recipe reminded me of ambrosia I decided to add the coconut shreds & am very pleased with the results - translucent shavings of pear & orange with bright pink flecks of cherry in a nicely set brilliant coral jam - and not too sweet. I used the slicing blade on my Cuisinart to cut the peeled pears & whole orange & scissor snipped the cherries.

Steps:
- Measure 3 cups of sugar & set to one side near stove.
- Put 1/2 lemon juice in non-reactive 4 quart pot. Slice pears as thinly as possible, putting them into lemon juice ASAP to minimize browning. Slice quartered orange as thinly as possible, discarding pieces that are only rind without pulp attached. Goal for the slices is wafer-thin.
- Add pineapple, coconut shreds & sliced cherries to pot.
- Stir in the pectin, mix well without tearing up orange shreds. Let sit 5 minutes. Boil to hard boil that can't be stirred down & boil one minute.
- Add sugar all at once & stir well to incorporate. Bring to hard boil & boil 4 minutes.
- Ladle into hot sterilized 1/2 pint jars, place on lids & rings & hot water bath process 10 minutes.
Tips:
- To achieve the perfect texture, use a combination of finely chopped and coarsely chopped fruit. This will give the conserve a chunky, yet spreadable consistency.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of fruits and flavors. Ambrosia conserve is a versatile recipe that can be customized to suit your taste. Try adding citrus fruits, berries, or even nuts for a unique twist.
- If you want to make a larger batch of conserve, simply double or triple the recipe. Just be sure to use a large enough pot to accommodate the increased volume.
- Ambrosia conserve can be stored in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It can also be frozen for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Ambrosia conserve is a delicious and versatile fruit spread that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, or even ice cream. It's also a great way to use up leftover fruit. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own ambrosia conserve at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet and tangy treat, give this recipe a try.
