   • Grind unpeeled oranges and lemons in a food processor or grinder until finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a large kettle.

2. Simmer with Baking Soda:

   • Add baking soda to the citrus mixture in the kettle and simmer for 10 minutes. This step helps to soften the fruit and enhance its flavor.

3. Prepare the Remaining Fruit:

   • Peel the pears and apples, then grind them in a food processor or chop them finely. Crush the fruit to release their juices and flavors.

4. Combine and Cook:

   • Add the prepared pears and apples to the orange mixture in the kettle. Measure the fruit mixture and return it to the kettle.

5. Sweeten with Sugar:

   • Add sugar to the fruit mixture in the kettle, using an amount equal to the measured fruit. The sugar will help to preserve the jam and enhance its sweetness.

6. Boil Until Thickened:

   • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Allow it to boil until thickened, which usually takes about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

7. Prepare Jars:

   • While the jam is cooking, prepare your canning jars by washing them thoroughly with hot, soapy water. Sterilize the jars by placing them in boiling water for a few minutes.

8. Fill Jars and Seal:

   • Once the jam has thickened to your desired consistency, carefully pour it into the hot, sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch headspace at the top. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth to ensure a proper seal.

9. Process in Water Bath:

   • Place the filled jars in a large pot of boiling water, making sure they are completely submerged. Process the jars in the boiling water bath for 20 minutes to seal them properly.

10. Cool and Store:

    • Carefully remove the jars from the water bath using canning tongs and place them on a clean towel to cool. Once cooled, check the seals on the jars to ensure they are airtight. Store the jars in a cool, dark place for up to a year.

11. Enjoy:

    • Serve your Heavenly Jam on toast, biscuits, or scones for a delicious breakfast or snack. Share with friends and family or keep it all to yourself for moments of pure bliss!

Notes:

• Be sure to use ripe but firm fruit for the best flavor and texture in your jam.
• Experiment with different combinations of fruit to create your own unique variations of Heavenly Jam.
• Make sure to follow proper canning procedures to ensure the safety and longevity of your jam.
• Get creative with packaging by adding decorative labels and ribbons for a personalized touch when gifting your jam to loved ones.

Indulge in the heavenly flavors of this delightful jam, and let it brighten up your mornings and sweeten your moments with its fruity goodness! 🍊🍋🍐🍏✨
