Print Recipe
Cooking Measurements
Ingredients:
1½ cups peeled, cored and chopped Pears (approx. 2 medium Pears)
1/2 cup chopped Plum (approx. 1 small Plum), optional
3/4 cup Sugar
1½ tablespoon Lemon Juice
Ceramic Plate
1 8oz Jar (or 2 4oz jar)
Directions:
  1. step-1
    Wash pears and plum in running water and dry them. Put a ceramic plate in freezer to check the jam consistency at later stage. Sterilize the jar.
  2. step-2
    Peel and core the pear and cut into small pieces. Cut the plum into halves, remove the stone and chop into small pieces.
  3. step-3
    Heat pear and plum pieces with sugar and lemon juice in a pan over medium heat.
  4. step-4
    Stir continuously and cook until sugar dissolves and mixture turns watery.
  5. step-5
    As you can see, the color starts to turn pinkish because of the plum skin.
  6. step-6
    Simmer for around 15-20 minutes or until mixture starts to thicken. Stir in between occasionally.
  7. step-7
    Stir continuously and cook over medium heat until mixture turns thick. To check mixture is thick or not, when you stir the jam with a spoon and if it leaves empty track behind (as shown in the photo), it is thick. If you like smooth texture without any chunks, mash it with backside of a spoon or immersion blender and cook again until it turns thick.
  8. step-8
    You can see the texture of thickened jam in the photo.
  9. step-9
    You can also do one more test to check the jam consistency. Remove the ceramic plate from freezer (kept in freezer in step-1) and put a little bit jam over it. Place the plate in freezer for a minute. Remove the plate from freezer and run a finger or a spoon through the jam and if it leaves the track clear, jam is ready.
  10. step-10
    Take away pan from the heat and allow it to rest for 1-2 minutes. Pour prepared pear jam into sterilized jar, leaving 1/4 head space empty. Wipe rims with cloth and seal with lids. Process jars in boiling water bath for 8 minutes. Let jars cool and store in a cool, dark place. Use it within 6 months of preparation.
Tips and Variations:
  • You can prepare this jam in large quantity by multiplying all ingredients. If you increase the quantity, it will take more time to cook.
  • If you don’t want to store the jam for a year, you can change the quantity of sugar according to the sweetness of pears and your liking.
  • Use it within 6 months of preparation. After 6 months even though it is still good to eat, its color and taste will start to change.
  • If jam bottles are not sealed properly, then you can re-seal them by putting them through boiling water bath again.
  • Be careful while removing jam bottles from boiling water bath. If not handled carefully, it may result in injury and burning.
Taste: Unforgettable mild sweet and mild tangy taste of seasonally best pears and plums.
Serving Ideas: It tastes best as spread and relish.
