This makes a pretty tasty jam. I reduced the sugar to only 2 cups, because the pears I was using were super sweet and ripe, plus the Jello had sugar in it too. Even with this change, I found the jam was plenty sweet. If you know you like orange Jello, then you'll like this recipe (just watch the sugar!). And it looks very pretty in a jar. Thanks for the recipe, Martina! -
Oh my gosh!!!! I requsted this over a year ago.I couldn't find it anywhere and decided to search again and got lucky.These are the best pear preserves ever.I added 1 cinnamon stick to one container before freezing them.I could eat just these with a spoon and nothing else!I bought a jar of pear preserves at the apple orchard a few weeks ago and they can't compare to these. Thanks so much for the recipe,I am hoping I have enough to get me thru the winter.
