I give this sweet and tangy jam as a Christmas gift. In this part of the country, pears and raspberries are in plentiful supply, but frozen berries work just as well.

Ingredients

2 cups coarsely chopped peeled ripe pears (about 2 medium)
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
6 cups sugar
2 tablespoons bottled lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 pouch (3 ounces) liquid fruit pectin

Directions

1. In a Dutch oven, combine the first five ingredients; bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Quickly stir in pectin; return to a full rolling boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
2. Remove from the heat; skim off foam. Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles; wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
