Steps:
- In a large stainless steal or enamel pot melt the butter over medium heat, add sugars.
- Stir until sugars are melted and then add remaining ingredients, stirring frequently for around 10 minutes, or until jam reaches a golden color-you do not want the jam as dark as the pie filling.
- Ladle jam into steril hot jars leaving 1/2 inch head space, and process for 20 minutes for half pint jars in a boiling water bath, at altitudes up to 1000 feet.
- Check seals when cool.
- Keeps for up to 6 months-mine never makes it past 2, everyone eats it!
- **Thisrecipe makes"around" 4 cups, depending on the nuts, how they are chopped and if you have tamped the measuring cup down well.
Tips:
- Choose the right pecans. Freshly shelled pecans are best, but you can also use store-bought pecan halves or pieces. Avoid using pre-chopped pecans, as they may be too fine and result in a gritty jam.
- Toast the pecans. Toasting the pecans enhances their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot. A heavy-bottomed pot will help to prevent the jam from scorching.
- Cook the jam until it reaches the desired consistency. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of jam you are making. For a thick jam, cook it for about 30 minutes, or until it reaches a temperature of 220°F (104°C) on a candy thermometer. For a thinner jam, cook it for about 20 minutes, or until it reaches a temperature of 212°F (100°C).
- Let the jam cool before jarring it. This will help to prevent the jars from cracking.
- Store the jam in a cool, dark place. Pecan jam can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
Conclusion:
Pecan jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, biscuits, pancakes, or waffles. It can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and other desserts. With its sweet and nutty flavor, pecan jam is sure to please everyone at your table.
