Ingredients For pear pineapple preserves!

  • 4 c
    pears, peeled, cored, mashed
  • 10 oz
    pineapple, crushed, reserve juice
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp
    lemon juice concentrate
  • 1 pkg
    fruit pectin, powdered
  • 4 1/2 c
    sugar

How To Make pear pineapple preserves!

  • 1
    Prepare and sterilize jars and jar rings. Keep jars warm in boiling hot water or on the Heated dry setting of your dishwasher until ready to use. I generally use the Rinse cyle just before using the jars for canning.
  • 2
    Mash pears, add crushed pineapple and juice. Pour fruit into a 6 or 8 quart saucepan.
  • 3
    Gradually stir in pectin. Over high heat, and stirring constantly bring fruit to full boil that cannot be stirred down.
  • 4
    Add entire amount of sugar all at once and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • 5
    Skim foam from top. Ladle into hot jars and fill 1/8 inch from the top. Make sure to use a wet paper towel to clean rim of jar of any preserve on rim.
  • 6
    Carefully place lids and tighten rings. Process in a water boiling canner or steam canner for 5 minutes for 1/2 Pints and 10 minutes for Pints.
  • 7
    Add an additional five minutes for every 3,000 miles above sea level.
  • Finish Pear Pineapple Preserves! YUM! :)
