A fragrant dark amber delicacy will warm you in any frosts, protect against colds and give a summer mood.
Pear – great fruit. In addition to a bright color and interesting saturated taste, it has a lot of useful properties and almost completely transfers them to jam. But because of a large amount of sugar, this treat is better a little.
Jam can be prepared from any variety of pears, and each of them will give a dessert its taste and aroma. However, firm fruits are better suited for this recipe, otherwise the pulp will boil and beautiful amber lobules will not work.
Ingredients
- 1 kg of pears;
- 1 kg of sugar;
- 2 cups of water;
- 1 lemon.
Cooking
Rinse the pears well. Remove the core and tails and cut into slices.
Mix water and sugar in a deep pot.
