I can and jam every year. I mostly do fruits, my mom grows and cans veggies and we swap. This year I have only done up apricot jam/syrup and canned peaches so far. I will be doing up more peaches this weekend. I also like to dry apples for the winter. Chocolate pear jam sounds good.

All you really need to can is a large sauce pan/roaster, a xl pot for boiling the jars, something to lift the jars our of the hot water,jars and lids( I've gotten snap lids from the dollar store/after canning season sales. if your area has freecycle you can get all that for free( which is what me and a friend does for jars:) I do jam while cleaning the kitchen up
