Pear and Ginger Jam
Yield 2lbs
4 lbs of pears
4 lbs of sugar
2 Lemons
1 Dsp of Ground Ginger (this can be varied depending on your
taste)
Peel, Core and quarter pears. Place in a large bowl and
cover with sugar, leave overnight.
Turn into preserving pan, add grated rind and juice of
lemons and ground ginger.
Initially stir over low heat dissolving sugar then bring to
boil. Boil gently stirring all the time, until fruit becomes
transparent and setting point is reached then jar it in
sterilised jars.
I sometimes add a cube of hot crystalised ginger to one or
two jars, for my ginger loving friends..
