Pear jam - so simple, but so delicious, just like in childhood
The beginning of autumn brings us a new harvest of fruits, such as pears and apples. If the pear harvest is excellent, it's essential to take advantage of this opportunity to make delicious preserves for the winter, such as jam.
Making jam is a painstaking and time-consuming process, but not in this case. I suggest you try my simple recipe, which involves mincing pears, and in no time, you'll have a wonderful treat in jars for the winter. Homemade pear jam is delicious and fragrant. Pear jam is a great winter treat, especially for a large, friendly tea party, or as a filling for your favorite baked goods.
Ingredients:
- pears – 500 g;
- sugar – 200 g.
How to prepare pear jam for the winter
Any variety of pear will work for making jam; choose the one you like best. Prepare the pears for further cooking: wash them and cut them into wedges, removing the inner part where the seeds are. The skins are quite thin, but if you really don't like the peel, you can peel them, if you prefer.
Next, using a regular meat grinder, chop all the peeled pears and place them in a pre-prepared, convenient saucepan or ladle for cooking.
Add the required amount of sugar to the pears and place on the fire, after mixing thoroughly.
Once the pear-sugar mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simply time it—about an hour and a half. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
That's all.
After you turn off the stove, all that's left to do is pour everything into sterilized jars and seal the lids. It's best to prepare the jars in advance by washing and sterilizing them. Do the same with the lids.
Wait until the jam has cooled completely and then safely store all the jars in a cool place, although this delicacy keeps well even at room temperature. Just remember, once opened, the jam should be stored in the refrigerator with the lid on.
