2 qt. pear pulp
4 c. sugar
1 tsp. grated orange rind
1/3 c. orange juice
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

To prepare pulp, quarter and core pears. Cook until soft, adding only enough water to prevent sticking. Press through a sieve or food mill. Measure pulp. Add remaining ingredients. Cook until thick, about 15 minutes.

As mixture thickens, stir frequently to prevent sticking. Pour hot mixture into hot sterilized jars leaving 1/2 inch head space. Adjust caps. Process pints and quarts 10 minutes in boiling water bath.
