Hey farm gals, it’s Kara from Lange Girl Farms! November’s pear harvest calls for spiced pear jam—naturally sweet and homestead-made. My chickens peck fallen fruit, my horses munch the scraps, and my huskies sniff the jars. This holistic recipe’s simple and sustainable—15 years of fall canning perfected it. Here’s how to jar cozy flavors, farm girl style—let’s spread warmth!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 4 lbs pears (grow pear trees or join a CSA program to obtain).
- 2 cups sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp cloves.
- [Jelly Canning jars], [Stainless pot] for boiling.
Step 1: Prep Pears
Peel, chop—[cutting board] makes it quick. My ducks love cores; 15 years taught me ripe fruit’s key.
Step 2: Cook the Mix
Boil pears, sugar, spices—stir often. My first batch burned; years showed me medium heat wins.
Step 3: Test and Jar
Spoon on a cold plate—gels when ready. Fill [Jelly Canning jars]; my husky pup tipped one; 15 years taught me steady hands.
Step 4: Process and Store
Boil jars 10 minutes—[canner] seals ‘em. My minis smell the spice; it’s winter on toast.
Conclusion
This spiced pear jam’s my November gem—15 years of pears in every spoonful. Make it; your pantry’ll glow! Pin this for your fall canning, and follow Lange Girl Farms for more recipes.
