Pear Pineapple Ginger Jam

• 12 pears, cleaned, cored, peeled and sliced into 1" pieces
• 1 3" stub of ginger, peeled
• 1 whole pineapple, cleaned, cored and cut into 1" cubes
• 1 cup lemon juice (app. 4 big lemons juiced)
• 4.5 cups organic sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons crystallized ginger, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon orange flower water

1. Toss all the ingredients into a pot on the stove. Simmer over medium-low heat until tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
2. Reduce heat to low; simmer until mixture drops thickly from spoon, stirring often, about 1 hour.
3. Remove the ginger carefully.
4. While still hot, pour the jam into 10 sterilized 4-ounce jars and water-bath them according to your own canning process. I water-bathed these jars for about 20 minutes, and then carefully removed the jars to rest on a towel until cool (over night).
5. Label the jars and give away liberally! (This jam is gorgeous on bread with a pat of butter, or stirred into granola and yogurt, or alongside a nice cheddar with crackers.)
