Pear jam slices with citric acid

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   For the recipe you will need pears, sugar, water and citric acid.It is recommended to select strong pears for jam. Medium and small pears are boiled whole, and large ones are cut into slices 2 cm thick or in half.

2. Step 2:

   

   Pears should be washed, dried and peeled from the core, as well as from the peel. Then they should be cut into slices.

3. Step 3:

   

   Put the slices in a saucepan and pour water over them, and cook them until they become soft.

5. Step 4:

   

   Next, you need to prepare a syrup from sugar and water (use water from cooking pears).

6. Step 5:

   

   Then put the pears in the already hot syrup and cook them until fully cooked on low heat. Before the end of cooking, you need to pour citric acid in order for the pear jam to be candied. If desired, at this stage, you can put a few sprigs of cloves and / or cinnamon (about 15 sprigs of cloves per 1 kg of pears and 2 tsp of cinnamon) to taste.

7. Step 6:

   

   The jam is ready! It can be consumed immediately when it cools down. Or pour hot jam from pears into sterile jars, which later need to be rolled up and turned over.
