Pear And Orange Jam With Walnuts

• 4 1/2 cups prepared fruit (about 2 1/2 lb. fully ripe pears and 2 medium or 3 small oranges)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 5 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 box sure-jell fruit pectin (powdered)
• 1/2 teaspoon butter

1. Peel and core about 2 1/2 pouds pears.
2. Peel oranges, remove seeds and any loose membrane. (I used "juice" oranges, not navels, for a more intense flavor.).
3. Grind or chop pears and oranges very fine.
4. Mix well.
5. Measure 4 1/2 cups of the mixture into a very large saucepan.
6. Add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
7. Measure sugar and set aside.
8. Mix pectin into fruits in saucepan.
9. Place over high heat, stirring continually, until the mixture comes to a hard boil.
10. Immediately add all the sugar and butter and stir well.
11. Bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly.
12. Remove from heat and skim off any foam with a metal spoon.
13. Stir and skim for 5 minutes to cool slightly and prevent floating fruit.
14. Ladle quickly into glass jars, wipe rims and apply lids & rings.
15. Process in a water-bath canner for 10 minutes for half-pints, 15 minutes for pints.
16. Remove from canner and place jars on a clean towel to cool.
