Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 185, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 August 1911 — Pear Jam. [ARTICLE]

Pear Jam.

Core out, but do not peel, some good, ripe pears, slice them, crush them well in a bowl and wring the pulp through very strong muslin. For every pound of this pulp add one-half pound of sugar, previously boiled to a thick syrup. Cook it very slowly on the stove until reduced to about two-thirds its original quantity. It should, when ready, be of the consistency of honey. Pour in jars, let cool and seal.
