Plum-Kissed Pear Jam
SUBMITTED BY:
Margaret Zickert
"'Years ago, when I complained my pear jam was bland, an aunt suggested that I add plum pulp to my next batch,' recalls Margaret Zickert from Deerfield, Wisconsin. 'I did...and then I won the grand prize in a recipe contest with the thick tasty results!'"

This was pretty good. I used more like 1/2 and 1/2 on the fruit. I also threw in 2 pluots that I had. The color of the jam was beautiful. It was a little too sweet even with 5 c. sugar. It could have easily been sweet enough with 4 c. sugar. I also always throw in an extra 1/2 box of pectin in jams. I like a really thick jam and this helps that happen quickly. I made this jam again with 2 pluots again, a handful of strawberries that I had on hand (and no one was going to eat) and an apple that started to get mushy. I threw it all in, cooked, sugared and jarred. It came out awesome!!! You can't pick which fruit you taste, but it is wonderful. The color is always awesome too!

Very Yummy and very easy!! I had a bunch of plums that were over-ripe and getting mushy and they worked great in this. I didn't make any changes! Great Jam! It made about 6 pint size jars.

This was a good and easy jam to make. i would have liked a bit more pear or plum flavor, I couldn't really taste either one to much & it was quite sweet. But it was a hit with the family, and thats the most important thing. I would make it again.

I always get lots of compliments on this recipe. I like to use black plums as they make the jam a beautiful color.
