Chocolate and Pear Jam~

I have had some time on my hands~ And have perused blogs..I am always astounded at how a new post ..reminds me of a recipe I saw months before and promised myself to make and didn't..

It was the case when I landed at Jasmine's Blog~Right away the sound of this jam sounded decadent..and right away I remembered her beautiful blueberry chocolate jam..

So I tried the pear one..


I had a few pears on hand.. some fine chocolate..an orange..a lemon..etc..

And decided to try it~

Predicted for the canning day was for a beautiful cold crisp.. sunny .. day..in that fallish golden way afternoon..
And I was dying to try the new labels I had printed up~
They're so victorian looking~From the beautiful Blog The Vintage Moth..
I don't know if you have been ..if not the trip along the keyboard is worth it..
Ahh..Luscious Labels for Luscious Jam~

Thank you Jasmin for this lovely ,new to me recipe~

I made a smaller recipe..less than half because I only had 3 pears 1 orange 1 lemon..It made these 3 jars..We figured out the equivalences.Next time I will be most certain to have the number of fruits required..too delish.
C'est un délice dit mon époux Jacques..(Et c'est vrai.)

We had small croissants .. warmed them a touch and placed some of this treasure atop.♥
