Golden Pear Jam

Ingredients:
8 medium pears, ground or mashed
1 cup crushed pineapple
4 cups white granulated sugar
Optional: 1/8 t nutmeg, ground

Directions:
Peel and core pears. Grind in food chopper or mash. Measure 4 cups of ground pears. Add crushed pineapple, sugar, and nutmeg. Cook until thick, about 30 minutes, stirring often. Pour into hot, sterilized glass jars. Seal. Process in boiling water for 10 minutes.

Cooking Tips: Ripening pears
Place unripe pears in a paper bag and let them stand at room temperature. When they yield a bit to gentle thumb pressure, they are ripe. If you do not plan to use the fruit right away, be sure to refrigerate them.

Makes 8 6-oz glasses.
