Here is a recipe that preserves the warm flavors of fall. Bartlett pears, lemon, apple juice, vanilla and sugar mingle into a jam that you can either store in jars, using standard canning procedures, or refrigerate for about a week. It's a gently sweet addition to your breakfast table.

Time 1h30m

Yield 3 pints

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 pounds pears, preferably Bartlett
Grated zest of a lemon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
16 ounces frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Peel, quarter and core the pears. Chop them in small cubes and toss them in a bowl with the lemon zest and lemon juice. Set aside.
  • In a large heavy saucepan combine the apple juice concentrate with the vanilla bean and the water. Boil it over moderate heat for 10 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean and add the pears and their liquid.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat and cook, stirring frequently, about 45 minutes, or until the mixture thickens enough to hold its shape on a spoon and has reached nearly 220 degrees on a candy thermometer.
  • Spoon the jam into sterilized jars and seal, or refrigerate when cool.

I found that the jam was a little too thick for my liking, so I added a little bit of water to thin it out.

This recipe is a great way to use up ripe pears. I also like that it doesn't require any pectin, so it's a very natural jam.
