Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe pears
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the ripe pears into small pieces.
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped pears, lemon juice, honey, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook. Stir frequently and mash the pears with a potato masher.
Let the mixture cook for 35-40 minutes or until it has thickened considerably.
Add the vanilla extract and cinnamon, stirring well to combine.
Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the jam reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pear jam cool.
Transfer the jam to a clean jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks.
