Preparation

Step 1

Wash, peel and core pears. Crush well and measure 2 cups into a large saucepan. Wash, peel, core and finely chop 1 cup of apples. Add apple to pears and stir in cinnamon.

Thoroughly mix sugar and lemon juice into fruits and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Immediately stir in pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil and boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, quickly skim off foam and fill into sterile half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.

Adjust lids and process jars 5 minutes for elevations from sea level to 1,000 feet. For 1,001 feet to 6,000 feet process for 10 minutes. At elevations above 6,000 feet process for 15 minutes.
