Cranberry Pear Jam Recipe

"Choose this cranberry pear preserves recipe as a luscious breakfast topping for creamy yogurt and granola parfaits, toast, or fresh croissants. This harvest fruit jam also makes a lovely accompaniment to roasted poultry or a European cheese board. These preserves are considered a classical, French confiture; they require no pectin, only sugar, to thicken into a hearty confection. Cook's note: One cup of dried cranberries may be substituted for 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries. Reduce the sugar to 3 cups, and shorten the cooking time because of the reduced liquids in the recipe.
