It's always great when Abigail's pear tree does well, because Abigail is kind enough to share the fruit with me when she has a surplus. Even though the output peaked a week ago she had plenty left today for me. I brought a jar of strawberry jam and came home with enough pears to make a batch of jam and still get 3 quarts of pears in light syrup.
I decided to combine the pears with raspberries for the jam. The proportions were approximately equal: 2 cups of pears and 2 cups of crushed raspberries. To this 4 cups of fruit I added 2 T. lemon juice and 5 cups of sugar plus 1 package of powdered pectin. This made 6 8-oz jars of jam plus a little more.
Thanks, Abigail!

You are very welcome!
