Jamlady's Original Blueberries in Snow

"A lite jam with wonderful color contrast! Only 1/3 cup sugar per jar." From The Jamlady Cookbook. We'd like to add that this wonderful jam can be made all year long since it calls for dried berries, while pears are readily available. This makes a wonderful gift.

  • 5 cups peeled, chopped pears
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup dried blueberries or dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped or whole macadamia nuts
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 3/4 ounce box "no-sugar" pectin
 

METHOD

Mix the pectin with the pears and lemon juice; boil for 1 minute. Add the sugar; boil for 1 minute. Mix in the macadamia nuts and place the jam in the jar alternatively with the dried blueberries - so as to reduce bleeding. JSR (jar, seal or close, and refrigerate) or this jar can be sealed by a RWB (rolling water boil), but there will be some bleeding of the blueberries into the snow.
