Grandma grew up in rural NC and always made these for the family. They are so good ... I hope you enjoy these as much as we have. Ingredients:
6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced pears |
1 cup water |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 (2 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin |
8 cups white sugar |
2 teaspoons ground allspice |
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes. Let simmer while making jam.
2. In a large saucepan, combine pears, water, and lemon juice. Cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in pectin, and bring to a full boil. Stir in the white sugar, and continue boiling and stirring uncovered for 1 minute, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, and stir in brown sugar, allspice, and nutmeg.
3. Quickly fill jars to within 1/2 inch of the top. Wipe rims clean, and top with lids. Process jars in boiling water for 10 minutes to seal.
