Let's start with a simple recipe. It will take 1.5 kilograms of pears, 3 grams of citric acid, 750 grams of sugar and the zest of one lemon. Let's start with preparing the fruit. We cut the pears into two halves, remove the stalk and core. We combine the lemon zest with the core and fill them with 150 grams of water. Then boil them for 10 minutes under the lid, and filter the broth. Pears are cut into thin slices and put in a saucepan with broth. Cook them until they soften. Then pour sugar into the pan and wait for the pear jam to thicken. The recipe involves the usealso citric acid. We add it at the end of cooking. Pour hot jam into jars, which must be prepared in advance. Close them tightly with lids and leave to cool. Store pear jam in a cool place.

Jam with cognac

This recipe is original, because we will use cognac in the cooking process. Take a kilogram of pears, orange and lemon zest, half a kilogram of sugar, vanilla and 50 milliliters of cognac. We wash the pears, cut, remove the core and divide into pieces. We put them in a saucepan in which we will cook pear jam, and fall asleep with sugar. We leave the fruit in sugar overnight so that the juice appears. The next day, put the pear jam on the fire and start cooking. Add lemon and orange zest to it. Cook over low heat for about an hour. Jam must be constantly stirred, otherwise it will burn. At the end, add cognac and put the delicacy in jars. We close them with lids and wrap them until they cool completely. Store in a cool place.

Sweet and tasty

Finally, one more recipe: pear-caramel jam with rum. This will require more ingredients than in previous cases. We take 800 grams of pears, which must be peeled and cut into small pieces, 100 grams of sugar, a pinch of vanilla, juice of one lemon, two large spoons of cold water, 400 grams of gelatin, 100 milliliters of hot water and a large spoonful of rum.

Use a heavy bottomed pot. We put in it 100 grams of sugar and twospoons of cold water. We make caramel. Then remove the pan from the heat and add hot water to it. The caramel needs to dissolve. Now add pears, gelatin, lemon juice and vanilla to liquid caramel. Put the saucepan back on the heat and bring the contents to a boil. Without reducing the heat, cook for about 3 minutes. Then remove the pan from the heat and pour in the rum. Stir the pear jam well and put it in jars. Thanks to some ingredients, an extraordinary taste is obtained. Be sure to add vanilla, it will decorate this delicacy with its aroma. Rum or cognac gives the jam a subtle aroma, which will also not be superfluous.
