Pear-Vanilla Freezer Jam
Photo: Lee Harrelson; Styling: Jan Gautro
Enjoy the taste of ripe, in-season pears all year long with this simple jam. Spread on toast or English muffins, or try on gingerbread, bran muffins, and hot cross buns. The jam also makes a tasty glaze for pork tenderloin.
How to Make It
Step 1
Place pear in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Place pear, rind, juice, and vanilla bean in a large saucepan. Stir in pectin. Place pan over high heat; bring to a boil. Stir in sugar; cook 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Step 2
Remove from heat. Skim foam from surface; discard. Remove vanilla bean. Scrape seeds into pear mixture; discard bean. Stir 5 minutes to ensure fruit is suspended in jam. Cover and chill overnight.
Step 3
Note: Refrigerate Pear-Vanilla Freezer Jam in airtight containers up to three weeks, or freeze up to six months.

This is the best jam I've ever made. Most jams are not quite as good as the original fruit but I actually thought this jam was better than the pears. I didn't have lemons so I used lime juice and skipped the zest. My friend used lemons. We compared and actually decided the lime is better. The jam has an even brighter and fresher flavor.

I've never been much of a jelly maker, but this stuff is fool-proof. The flavor is bright and delicious, and the texture is perfect. Wonderful to give to friends, if you can bear to part with it!

Made this last year with pears from my dad's farm. Gave them away as Christmas gifts for co-workers. I now have 3 co-workers bringing boxes of pears in so I will make them more. I think it was a hit
