Pear jam with lemon

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To make jam, prepare the necessary ingredients. Choose ripe pears, but strong, so that when cooking they do not boil, but remain pieces. Take the fruits whole, without damage. Wash the pears and lemon well in running water from dirt. If the pears themselves are sweet, then less sugar may be required.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut the pears into 4 pieces and remove the core from them. If the peel of pears is thin and soft, then it is not necessary to clean it. Cut the pears into small cubes or slices.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the sliced pears in a saucepan and cover with sugar. Leave to stand for a few hours to let the pears juice. Glass or enameled dishes are suitable for this. It is not necessary to use metal or aluminum, so that metal oxidation does not occur. It is not necessary to pour all the sugar at once. You will taste the jam at the first cooking. If necessary, you can fill it up later.

4. Step 4:

   

   Remove the tails from both sides of the lemon, cut it in half and cut into thin slices. Remove all the bones that come across. Peel is not necessary.

5. Step 5:

   

   When the pears let the juice, put them on the fire and bring to a boil.

7. Step 6:

   

   Add lemon slices to the pears in a saucepan, stir and boil for 1-2 minutes. Then turn off the heat and leave the jam to stand, cool down. This is necessary so that the syrup is infused, and the fruits themselves do not boil.

8. Step 7:

   

   Then bring the jam to a boil again and boil for 4-5 minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   Sterilize the jars in a way that is convenient for you. Just pour boiling water over the lids. Place the boiling jam in the prepared jars and close the lids.

10. Step 9:

    

    Turn the jam jars upside down, wrap them in a blanket and cool them in this form. Why wrap it in a blanket? In this form, the jam will cool down much more slowly and will reach during the cooling process.

11. Step 10:

    

    Store the finished jam in a cool place. Have a nice treat!
