Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lbs Pears
- 1 cup Erythritol
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 tsp Xanthan gum
Instructions
Wash, peel, and core the pears. Cut them into small pieces.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the pear pieces, erythritol, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pears have softened significantly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender, in batches if necessary, and blend until smooth.
Return the blended mixture to the saucepan and sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the surface while whisking to prevent clumping.
Simmer the mixture for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the jam thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the jam from the heat and let it cool down slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars.
Seal the jars and store the jam in the refrigerator. Use within a month for best flavor and texture.
