Delicious pear jam slices

Pear is a fruit with character. Either it is unripe and hard as a stone, or when it is ripe it begins to spoil instantly. And it’s difficult to prepare pears for the winter; very often jars with preparations “explode.” But despite all of the above, our family really loves pear jam in slices. I offer you my proven and simple recipe for making beautiful and tasty pear jam today. Step-by-step photos illustrate the cooking process.

To prepare delicacies for the winter you need:

• 2 kilograms of pears;
• 1 cup of sugar;
• half a lemon.

How to make pear jam in slices

Almost any variety of pear is suitable for the proposed preparation. Fruits need to be sorted, those that are starting to spoil should be removed, and washed well.

Pour a glass of sugar into an enamel pan and pour half a glass of water. Put it on low heat and, stirring occasionally, prepare the syrup.

While the syrup is preparing, you can peel the pears and cut them into slices. It is not at all necessary to cut out the middle of the pear and then cut into slices.If you are not interested in the correct geometric shape of the pieces in the jam, then cut the slices directly from the pear until only the middle with the seeds remains.

Place the pear slices into the syrup and stir.

Wash the lemon. Cut half a lemon with peel into cubes.

Send lemon cubes to pears.

When the pear jam with lemon boils, turn off the heat, cover with a clean towel and leave for half a day. Bring to a boil 3-6 times over several days. The color of the workpiece will depend on the amount of heating.

Spread the boiled pear jam over banks.

Roll up and turn over and leave to cool. Don't forget to wrap the jars well.

You need to store pear jam at home in a dark pantry.

You can serve it on the table in a saucer, spread it on pancakes, or you can simply eat it from a jar with a spoon - such a tasty treat!
