Pear Jam

Ingredients

• Pears 0 lbs
• Sugar 0 lbs
• Rosemary 2 sprigs

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients. It's best to use firm and not overly ripe pears for this jam.

Step 2

Wash the pears and slice them into 3–4 mm thick pieces, removing the stems and seeds.

Step 3

Transfer the pears to a pot, sprinkle them with sugar, and let them sit for 3 to 4 hours so that the pears release their juice. No water is needed.

Step 4

Remove the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and chop them finely.

Step 5

Place the pot with the pear over low heat and add rosemary.

Step 6

Once the sugar has dissolved and the mixture reaches a boil, continue to simmer over low heat for another 40 minutes.

Step 7

Stir occasionally. The pears in the finished jam should become semi-transparent.

Step 8

Sterilize the jars for the jam over steam for 15–20 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the finished jam into hot jars and seal them.

Step 10

Store in a cool, dark place and serve with tea.
