Apple-Pear Conserve Recipe - Cooking Index
4 cups | 584g / 20oz | Chopped peeled cored apples |
4 cups | 584g / 20oz | Chopped peeled cored pears |
2 cups | 292g / 10oz | Chopped peeled cored pineapple |
1 cup | 160g / 5.6oz | Golden raisins |
7 cups | 1659ml | Unsweetened apple juice |
1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Nutmeg |
1/2 cup | 46g / 1.6oz | Slivered almonds |
Prepare Ball brand or Kerr brand jars and closures according to manufacturer's instructions.
Combine apples, pears, pineapple, raisins and apple juice in a large saucepot. Cover and simmer until fruit begins to soften. Remove cover. Add spices. Bring mixture to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer until mixture begins to thicken. As mixture thickens, stir frequently to prevent sticking. Stir in almonds; simmer 5 minutes.
Carefully ladle hot conserve into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe jar rim clean. Place lid on jar with sealing compound next to glass. Screw band down evenly and firmly just until a point of resistance is met -- fingertip tight.
Process 15 minutes in a boiling-water canner. At elevations higher than 1,000 feet, boil 2 additional minutes for each additional 1,000 feet elevation.
