Pears are about ready to be picked. Hubby brought in 5 or 6 and some were hard as a rock, so we have time yet to pick them. Thank goodness.
Two of them were ripe however, so I used one to can carrot cake jam for the first time. Using our homegrown carrots, a home grown pear, and a few purchased ingredients. I used this recipe: Carrot Cake Jam.
It uses the same amount of sugar that most recipes online require, but a mix of white granulated and brown sugar. I have wanted to try this recipe for years, but put it off. We didn't get any carrots last year either. I can't remember why, but we didn't get beets or carrots.
Anyway....
