PEAR AND PINEAPPLE JAM

Steps:

• Peel, quarter and core the pears. Cut the pears and the pineapple into pieces about the size of a lima bean.
• Combine the fruit, water and lemon juice in a heavy, non-reactive 5-quart pan. Cover the pan and bring it to a boil. Uncover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add 1/2 cup of the sugar, then allow the liquid to return to a boil before adding the last 1/2 cup of sugar. Continue cooking the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce the jam to 3 1/2 cups and until the mixture reaches 212º-214º on an instant read thermometer. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest.
• Fill hot, sterilized jars to within 1/4" of the lips. Wipe the rims clean, place new lids on the jars, and screw the caps on tightly. Invert quickly for a quick vacuum seal, or process in a boiling water bath, submerged by 1 inch, for 10 minutes.

PEAR HONEY

Steps:

The longer you cook it, the thicker it gets. Cooking time is usually 2 to 3 hours.
• Ladle into hot sterile jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Wipe rims with a clean damp cloth, and seal jars with lids and rings. Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes, or the amount of time recommended by your local extension for your area.
