I bought a giant box of pears last week, so here’s another recipe with pears in it. This time we are making jam! This is (just like last week’s recipe) a very easy recipe.
I used very small pears (as you can also see from the pictures) and it was therefore not necessary to remove the core housing. If, on the other hand, you use large pears with a large core housing, it may be necessary to remove it before the pears are cut into cubes. In addition, the pears should be cut into small pieces so that the jam becomes deliciously creamy as the pieces keep their shape quite well even after being cooked.
Eat the jam on breakfast bread, waffles, or oatmeal!
