LOVELY DELICIOUS PEAR VANILLA JAM

I have been making jams for a very long time. I say jams and not jellies because I don’t think I have ever actually made a batch of jelly. I love nice thick and chunky jam so that is what I make.

This lovely Pear Vanilla Jam recipe from Food in Jars has become my new  favorite jam!

I have my favorite recipes that I usually make each year. Well, not really each year because sometimes a year goes by that I don’t make any jam.

 Food In Jars is the ultimate in canning information and yummy canning recipes. I was so excited when I saw the recipe on the blog that I forwarded it to one of my other email addresses so I wouldn’t forget about it.

A few weeks ago pears went on sale! Woo Hoo. I have to be honest with you. I didn’t know what to expect. I had never made any kind of jam recipe with pears before. And I also have never flavored a jam with vanilla beans. As a baker I of course love vanilla. I use it in almost every dessert recipe I bake.

This recipe turned out so lip smacking good that the next day I went out and bought more pears and made another batch. I think I am obsessed with this stuff. I’ll be posting a recipe where I used this melt in your mouth jam as a filling. 

I’ve hidden all my jars of Pear Vanilla Jam. I don’t want to share it! Normally I am very generous with my homemade goods but not this time. No siree it’s all mine! Sorry but I am not sharing!
