Place your finely chopped pears into a large mixing bowl. Add the sugar and lemon juice and stir to moisten all the sugar. Set aside and stir a couple times during the next 10 minutes.
While your pear sugar mixture is sitting place the water into a small saucepan.
Once the 10 minutes is up, stir the pectin into the water and heat on high stirring constantly.
Boil for 1 minute then remove from heat.
Add the pectin mixture to the pear mixture and stir for about 3 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved.
Put your pear jam into clean and sterilized freezer container. Leave a little space at the top for expansion when freezing.
Place lids on top and let the containers sit at room temperature for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, place in the refrigerator if you’ll be using your jam right away. Or into the freezer for longer storage.
