Clear Pear Jam with Slices

Amber jam from sweet pears that brings a taste of summer to a winter day! This is a great pear jam recipe I've been using for years. It comes out very sweet, very tasty, and very pretty. It's so nice to sip tea with it in the cold season and think back to warm days. Highly recommended!

  • For this jam, it's best to use firm pears, ideally fall varieties. They should be ripe and juicy but not soft, or they may simply fall apart. Wash the fruit and cut out the cores, then slice the pears fairly thin. Pour the sugar into a pot, add the water, and stir. Set the pot over low heat and, stirring, wait for the sugar to dissolve, then bring to a boil. You should end up with a fairly thick, translucent syrup of a lovely amber color. Pour the syrup over the prepared pears, stir, and let them sit until the syrup has cooled completely—stirring the jam from time to time. Then set the pears over low heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook the pears for 5–7 minutes. Take the jam off the heat and cool again. Repeat that step once more—bring to a boil, cook the pears for 5–7 minutes, and cool. After the second cooking, the pear slices will turn translucent. Now set the pears on the heat a third time, bring to a boil, cook for another 5–7 minutes, and leave to cool. The jam will be noticeably thicker and the pears clearer. Ladle the jam into sterilized jars prepared ahead of time, seal with lids, and let cool somewhere warm. After that, store the jam in a cool place. Sweet tea time!
