Fig and Pear Jam

As the weather cools and fall fruits become available, my jam making shifts from peaches and berries to figs, pears, apples, persimmons! Not sure why I am so into making jams. Its soothing, calming and helps me cope with life's challenges. Often you'll find me in the kitchen preparing fruit for jam while watching Perry Mason reruns. That show may have been responsible for my interest in becoming a lawyer. I know for sure it helped me get through law school evidence class. I'd watch and shriek at the TV - objection, objection! This jam recipe is adapted from one by Christine Ferber.
