Description

This Three-Fruit Preserves recipe creates a luscious, glossy jam that balances the sharp tartness of cranberries with the tropical sweetness of pineapple and the delicate floral notes of pears. The result is a complex, layered flavor profile that is both refreshing and deeply comforting. The texture is smooth yet retains subtle chunks of fruit, making it perfect for spreading on warm toast, dolloping onto yogurt, or serving alongside savory meats like pork or duck. It is an excellent choice for holiday gifts or as a vibrant addition to your breakfast table. Easy to prepare with common pantry staples, this preserve captures the essence of fresh fruit in every spoonful.

Directions

  1. Wash and sterilize jars.

  6. Put 2 cups sugar and 1/2 cup water into heavy 3-quart saucepan with tight-fitting lid.
  7. Place over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
  8. Bring to a boil, cover, and boil 5 minutes.
  9. Uncover; add the cranberries and cook until cranberry skin pops.
  10. Add the diced pears with the syrup that was sprinkled on them, and the pineapple tidbits.
  11. Continue cooking until thick; about 20 minutes.
  12. Remove from heat and skim to remove any foam.
