Pear Apple Jam

The pear apple jam is one of the nice jam recipes for topping pancakes.

Jam also tastes great on a favorite slice of bread right out of the toaster.

What you need:

• 2 cups peeled, cored and finely chopped pears
• 1 cup peeled, cored and finely chopped apples
• 6 1/2 cups sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup bottled lemon juice
• 6 ounces liquid pectin

What you do:

Crush apples and pears in a large saucepan and stir in cinnamon.

Thoroughly mix sugar and lemon juice with fruits and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Immediately stir in pectin.

Bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat, quickly skim off foam and fill hot, sterile jars leaving 1/4 inch head space.

Wipe jar rims and process for 5 minutes in boiling water bath.

Yield: About 7 to 8 half pint jars.
