For those interested? GMO is limited to large commercial crops. You can’t buy the seeds without training and licensing. More- those commercial crops are grains and corn- not “specialty crops”. Specialty crops are the ones that we think of as fruits and veggies. I know some will disagree with me, but I managed a farm- including seed ordering. It’s far more involved that many realize. So seeing non-gmo on those food labels is the same as seeing “gluten free” on milk…. It’s already free of that. They label it just to try and increase their sales.

Love, love love vanilla pear jam! A neighbor gave me a #10 can of pears last year. Made jam, butter with it!

I have never heard of Vanilla Pear jam. This is interesting. In my last house, purchased from an Italian, I had a peach and pear tree. People don't grow fruit trees and I don't know why.

I've never made jam before, untl this year. I went a little overboard. I made 4 flats of peach jam and 1 flat of pear tutti-frutti. Watching my family smack their lips while eating my peach jam is worth all of the effort. I used regular pectin and had to use a ton of sugar. I picked up a 1 pound bag of Pomona's. I hope that will last a while.

CorrectO you are, Leisa Sutton!!! People pay a lot of money to have this beautiful scent in their home. We get to have it aaaannnndddd, we get to eat it! On biscuits, too! Ohhh, what can be better than that. Thank you for this video. Happy Canning! 🙂🌻🍂

Thank you for sharing your using canned goods. Nothing bad about canned food. Better food to not having any. It’s when you’re hungry you eat. It’s nice hear people talk whatever’s in food nothing wrong with increasing one’s knowledge. It’s a choice. Everything has it’s season . As a person that now no longer can it’s a blessing to be able to still buy food.

the steam canner was a big game changer and works so much faster

Looks delicious

Looks delicious. I want to share with you my finger saving trick for handing those hot jars while putting on lids. I bought some rubber shelving liners and cut a strip about double the size of a dollar bill. I use it folded to hang onto the hot jar while putting on lids and rings. That size is perfect for half pints to quarts. And it doesn't move on you while using it. Plus, it's easy to clean.

Good stuff! I recently bought a 20# box of pears from Azure. After all the peeling and slicing, I wish I knew about this option. It was very satisfying getting it all done though because it yielded 7 quarts and 4 pints of canned pears, but, man, it was work! LOL!!! Thanks for sharing.

This is great !

That looks amazing 😍

I had no idea I could use canned fruit. This is a game changer

I am definitely going to try this. Thanks Leisa!

This sounds wonderful! I wouldn’t have thought to use canned fruit. Gonna be giving this a try

Great canning info - I love pears so will try it for sure.

This is calling my name! It’s in my list to do!

Ok I’m having issues with back and got a shot in back not in spine. Had five shots because Bruce said I had five bandages on my back. It was to work for 24 hrs . Then if it worked on too next step. It was a 4/5 after being an 7-9 10 being bad and sometimes a 10. So I get it, you need to do what’s best for you. If others don’t like it oh well so be it, Jam looks good,

Awesome , that was easier then i thought , Thank you Leisa

Love your vids. Thank you for sharing your wealth of information. I always learn something new!

Yes, and thank you on no canning season! I'm just getting into the winter canning cycle. I'm canning more apple butter tonight. Tomorrow I'm canning cushaw squash and apple pie filling. I hope that will be the last of the apples, except what I'm saving out for eating and baking.

Looks so good. I may have to try this recipe

Yum! That smelled amazing! I’ve been using Pamona’s pectin for a couple of years. Love it. For Jars for the win!

This looks delicious and I’ve been trying to think of ways, that I can use up my canned fruit! This is perfect!

I've been wondering what to do with the six pints of pears on my pantry shelf that no one else in my family will eat (too soft). 👍

Yay!!!! Can't wait to try next pear season.. I have a beautiful Bartlet Pear tree... I made Autumn Pear Jam and Pear sauce... this sounds wonderful!!! Thanks from SE Mi

New to your show. Just love it, great instructions and you are so nice. Thanks

Thank you so much !!!!!!!

Bought the vanilla bean paste , now to make the jam!

Thanks big bunches

Thank you

I just finished making this..OMG it is so good and so darn easy!!! I absolutely love the fact that there is very little sugar. Thank You Leisa for turning me back onto canning. HUGS from Canada.

I could see the little flecks of vanilla. 😊

I love you!!! I’m originally from the Rogue Valley, a pear capital of the world! I’m so excited to try this recipe out! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and video with us and I hope your back is better very soon!❤

Ordered the vanilla paste! Good price too

Wonderful recipe. I can make this. ❤❤❤Love and Hugs. ❤❤❤

Leisa seriously I would love to have a cookbook ❤

This is great. We love pears! Thanks. I like your style and have Subscribed. Edit: Sorry about your back. Hope you’re better real soon.

Thanks for sharing. I did not know we could use canned fruit to make jam. I had never heard of vanilla paste. Thanks again.

What a great idea!!! My favorite vanilla ever is Neisson-Massey bourbon vanilla. I buy the 32oz which is around $100 but works out cheaper than buying it in some stores. I heard Wegman’s has 8oz for $25. Occasion my TJ-Max, Ross, and Marshall’s will have it for $12 a bottle. Prices as of last summer. I know it’s expensive but it’s one of my splurges because it is that good.

Love your recipes ❤I want some buttery scones and this jam🥂

I love cranberries! I add them to my banana bread and it's delicious!

My daughter made pear jam using ginger (just commercial ginger seasoning). It was delicious. I’m going to try this method. Thank you!

Oh!! I made your pineapple pepper jam today! Mrs. Lady, boy is this jam GOOD!! ❤ Also just bought that vanilla paste, pretty good price.❤

I've seen the recipe, but all of the peeling and chopping ... my back says "No!" But you have given me hope! Thanks for the recipe. ❤

I checked out the steam fruit saver you’re using- wow it’s Walmart prices is $57.65 good prices to safe my back 🎉

Yum

ForJars has canners now!

Thannk you needed the idea with the 24 cans of pear from food bank great Christmas time. Mmm idea for peaches!? Beside pie filling. ❤❤❤

I made something similar to this last winter but did not use canned pears, this will be a game changer! I also layered shaved semisweet chocolate between scoops of the jam when putting it into jars, wow that was really good. 🎉

I like Pamona's pectin because you can half or double a recipe. I always get a 4 oz jar ready, just incase I don't have enough to fill a 8 oz.

Leisa, this is so off topic, but I think this is the first time I've ever seen your nails polished. VERY pretty!! I'm a retired manicurist. I notice. ;)

This is brilliant! Can you do the same for peaches? Thanks so much for sharing.

This sounds so good. I am looking for new jams to make. My husband likes putting jam in his yogurt. Do you have a pineapple jam recipe?

What are the pros and cons of vanilla paste vs vanilla extract? Is there one? I will definitely be trying this recipe. Thank you for all the good ideas.

I eas so hoping youd open it up & eat some!!

That looks amazing.. can u do the same with canned peaches? ❤

Ok now I have been wandering if you can do this from the can because I will buy pears from the store for my pear preserves.Thank you for the information. 😂😂

Hi Leisa. Just saw something on KZfaq about after loosing weight your muscles need to be strengthened. Maybe just some PT would help your back issues. Love your videos. I’ve learned a lot. Thank you.

Could you use the calcium water on tomatoes for blossom end rot?

Iv had my steam canner for a couple years now and I wonder if the gauge is still accurate

😊

Where's Monday night live? Did I miss something? Hope all is well with you and Phil!

I've seen one of your older videos that used canned fruit to make jam and thought what a great thing. I was wondering if dried fruit could be used the same way? I was giften a couple pounds of dried figs from a food pantry and thought a fig jam or chutney would be so good, but don't know if it's possible or safe to do for canning?

Leisa just found out ForJars has pressure cooker! Have you tried it yet?

Could you make pear butter with canned pears?

@suttonsdaze. What size jars did you use?

I keep meaning to ask you what are the racks you have next to the stove you set your jars on? And where did you get the?

Have you tried to new For Jars canner?

Hey Leisa! Could I do this with canned peaches?

Can I can apples without thickening?

Can you use regular vanilla instead of vanilla paste? And sure gel instead of other thickener?

Where do I get the pamona pectin from , please and thank you

Can you make jelly out of can store peaches and pineapple juice.

I’ve never seen a steam canner before!! Can you steam can in a regular pot like a crab pot? Looks like two pots nested together, the inner one has holes in it, the bottom one has an inch of water and use a lid. Thanks!!

Can you steam can tomatoes? 😊

thanks i go to a food pantrt and my kids hate pears and we keep getting them

Can regular vanilla extract or vanilla beans be used instead of paste?

What brand pan is that with the inside measurements.

Where did you buy the Pomona’s pectin? I see a link for the recipe but not for the pectin itself. I’m in Canada, & I checked Amazon, but it is extremely expensive ($18.00/oz). Is that normal or just another thing we can’t easily get?

Do you not have to debubble?

I know crazy question but can I sub peaches instead of pears. Vanilla peach jam?

You still need a pressure canner for low acid stuff like potatoes.

Is there an equivalent measure of regular vanilla extract?

HELP! I'm trying to find a pear honey recipe that tastes good. I made some several years ago when we had a producing pear tree but now I have to search for pears either on sale or canned.

What if you can't get the ring off afterwards? The last thing I canned was pickled Brussels sprouts, The rings gave me SO much trouble. 3 of them unscrewed just fine, but the other three were really stuck on there. After trying really hard I got 2 of the rings off, but no amount of running water on them, using brute force and ignorance, or handing them to my husband could get the last ring off. It's still on there nearly 2 weeks later. It's unscrewed enough that it's not holding the lid down but short of cutting it off I don't see anyway to remove it.

I didn’t catch it in the video. How much vanilla paste did you use?

Can you add cranberries?

I just wanted to add something I found out about labeling for "bioengineered" food. The law was passed that manufacturers had to make it known on the label if the product contained GMO ( same thing as bioengineered food. However, some companies have gotten around actually printing it. If you notice a QR code on the can, scan it and it will "tell you more about our product ( it's GMO)." Or if there is a phone number listed, you can call it "for information on our product."(it's GMO). So even if technically you don't see it written, legally, it's there. Sneaky buggars.

That looks amazing I am going to try this one but first I have to figure out if I did my apple sauce right. I have a couple of ?'s. Please, you don't have to debubble jam? By second ? is a help me please?. This is the first year I canned. I canned apple butter and didn't have a problem, I used forjars and everything sealed good. Fast forward to making apple sauce, I messed something up. I filled my jar to the head space, debubbled- there was a lot of bubbles but I worked at it and got them out, wiped rim, finger tight lid. Steam canned my apple sauce 20 minutes like the recipe called for. Took them out and let them cool. Things went wrong after that, well I am not sure if it went wrong I just never heard anyone mention what happened. The apple sauce raised for to the top and liquid was at the bottom, if you turned them upside down a bubbles went to the bottom of the jar (the jar is upside down) also the apple sauce raised to the top is really thick and looks like there is air on the sides of the jar. I don't know what to do the seal is amazing no problem there, so I don't know what to do I have 38 pints of applesauce and I am afraid I ruined them. My one sister said don't worry about it, they will be fine, really cause you don't mind maybe killing someone. Another sister said eat the cost of the lids, empty them into a pot/roaster/slowcooker and cook it down some more, or you can drain the liquid using a cheese cloth. I am so frustrated, they don't can anymore and years ago when they canned there really wasn't much rules like now. I am not sure if some of them might of siphoned or not and can you recan them, there was a couple jars that were sticky. Trust me those jars sealed but I don't trust it if they siphoned. Help please anyone. I emailed the ruler of the canning rules but have not heard back yet. IF I can recan them is there a time limit to how Long they are in the jars before it is too late. Thanks so much I don't make sense I am sure, I just need advice. Thanks for all you share

This sounds and looks delicious but have to admit once a can of pears is opened it’s consumed 😅

you could have made pear jelly from the pear juice!

I have another question about this recipe...im a newbie so please forgive me. In one part of this recipe you said 4 cups and in another part you said 4 pounds of pears. Which one is it?

Azure has had a great price for 20lbs of pears

Xxx Adelaide South Australia

I just watched a 1yr old video about a bioengineered disclosure law that passed in 2016, and the law went into effect Jan 1st 2022. It says food that contains detectable genetic material must be disclosed. Either stating on the label, or a logo saying it it, or a QR code you scan to find out if the product is bioengeered, or a phone number to call or text. There can be exemptions, or loop holes. Products where the first ingredient is meat, poultry, or eggs, doesn't have to follow this law, because it is under a different set of regulations. How long have we already be using these products, and will we ever know the truth. Also smaller businesses, such as food trucks and such, do not have to disclose any information on their products.

I don'tpeel per. The skins are so think it melts in the recipe. I don't have time to wwaste my time to do something that is not necessary

So, those cans you get from food donations that you don't know what to do with.

😊
