Ingredients
1 kg peeled pears, diced
450 g granulated sugar
1/2 cup filtered water
100 ml apple pectin
50 ml vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon
Directions
- Place the peeled and diced pears, lemon juice, sugar, filtered water, and vinegar in a saucepan. Mix well.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens and the pears begin to break down.
- Blend the mixture using a food processor, blender, or immersion blender if you prefer a smooth consistency. Alternatively, leave some chunks for a more rustic jam.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan, add the apple pectin, and cook until the jam thickens. Allow to cool before serving (store in the refrigerator).
