Five-minute pear jam for winter

It is better to take hard pears, you can slightly unripe, ideally - some kind of autumn variety. Wash them, cut out the cores and damaged areas, remove the stems.

Cut the pears into slices or medium-sized pieces - as you like. I prefer to cut into pieces that fit in a teaspoon, so that it would be more convenient and pleasant to eat jam with tea later.

Pour water into a saucepan and pour sugar, stir. Put it on a slow fire, stirring constantly, wait until all the sugar has dissolved.

Pour the resulting syrup over the pears and leave them to stand for 3-4 hours in a cool place. You can do more. I sometimes leave it overnight in the refrigerator.

When the pears are infused, put a saucepan with them on the fire, bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, let the pears stand for 12 hours.

Then put the pears back on the stove, bring them to a boil, cook for 5 minutes and leave to stand for 12 hours. Repeat the same 2 more times.

After the last cooking, arrange the hot jam in sterile jars, close with sterile lids.

Jam-five minutes, cooked according to this recipe, should be stored in a cool place.

Bon appetit!
