Pear jam with poppy seeds

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients. To make jam from pears with poppy seeds, we will need: pears, sugar, poppy seeds and lemon juice.

2. Step 2:

   

   Wash, dry, peel and peel the pears. The weight of pears in pure form should be at least 500 g. Cut the prepared fruit into medium slices.

   If desired, the poppy can be fried in a dry pan for about 3 minutes. Then it will become a little more fragrant. Also, so that the seeds are not very hard and do not crunch on the teeth, you can grind the poppy in a coffee grinder. I didn't do it, because I like the crispy poppy. But in baking, I always try to grind poppy seeds - then it reveals its taste qualities better.

7. Step 6:

   

   When the pears will let the juice in 2 hours, put the saucepan on the fire. Stirring occasionally, bring to a boil. Cook on low heat for about 20 minutes. Stir the jam periodically.
