Spiced Pear Jam with Pineapple

DIRECTIONS

• Peel and core pears; peel and seed lemon and orange.
• Put fruit though a grinder or food processor; save juices.
• In a kettle or large saucepan, combine pulp and juice with sugar and pineapple.
• Tie cloves, cinnamon, and ginger in cheesecloth; add to pot.
• Stir the mixture while heating.
• Simmer about 30 minutes.
• Remove spice bag and ladle into hot sterilized jars.
• Process pints in a water bath for 15 minutes.
• NOTE: Since it is hard to gauge the acidity of pears, taste the jam as it cooks and add sugar or lemon juice as needed.
