Years ago, my in-laws had three pear trees on their acreage and gave us all the fruit that we wanted to pick. So I canned plenty of pears. Then a neighbor passed along this favorite recipe. I've given many jars of this jam as gifts. Day to day, my husband and our boys—we have a married son and two teenagers—enjoy it on toast with ham and eggs or on hot rolls with a meat.
