CONFETTI AMBROSIA JAM



Confetti Ambrosia Jam image

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.

Categories     Cherries

Time 35m

Yield 9 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups unbleached cane sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice, bottled
3 cups pears, peeled & thinly sliced
1 orange, thinly sliced (I used a navel)
1 cup crushed pineapple
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup maraschino cherry, thinly sliced (with juice to fill 1/2 cup after cherries are in measuring cup)
1 3/4 ounces pectin, powder, no-sugar (I use Ball)

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:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful oranges. The quality of your oranges will greatly impact the final product, so be sure to use the best oranges you can find.
  • Use a sharp knife to remove the orange zest. This will help to prevent the pith from being included in the zest, which can make the jam bitter.
  • Be careful not to overcook the jam. Overcooked jam will be thick and sticky, and it will lose its bright flavor.
  • Let the jam cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent the jam from crystallizing.
  • Store the jam in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve the jam's flavor and quality.

Conclusion:

Confetti Ambrosia Jam is a delicious and versatile spread that can be enjoyed on toast, crackers, or even ice cream. It's also a great way to use up ripe oranges. With its bright citrus flavor and beautiful confetti appearance, this jam is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
