This pear jam is easy to make and has a wonderful flavor, with just a hint of cardamon to add to that delicious fall flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups diced pear 1 ¾ cups is approx 13 ½oz - roughly 2 pears)
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon vanilla paste
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel and dice the pear, removing the core and any stringiness.
  2. Put the pear, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and cardamon in a small pan and warm over a medium-low heat.
  3. Stir the mixture now and then so that the mixture doesn't burn and the sugar dissolves, but also avoid it going up the sides.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce the heat slightly so that it simmers rather than boils. The pear will soften and become more liquid as it heats - break up larger chunks as needed. Cook for around 15 minutes, or more/less as needed, until it becomes noticeably thicker, then remove from heat.
  5. Allow to cool a few minutes before transferring to a sterile jar.

Notes

  • Makes approx 1 ⅓ cups
