Take a variety of pears that does not soften too much when cooked.
Pears can be boiled whole, cut into halves or quarters, removing the core. Boil the prepared pears in acidified water for 8-15 minutes and immediately cool in cold water.
Then pour in hot syrup made from sugar and water in which the pears were boiled.
Place in a cool place for 3-4 hours, cook again for 3-4 minutes, then stand for 10-12 hours. Repeat cooking and standing 3-4 times until the pears become transparent.
At the end of cooking you can add 1-2 g vanilla sugar and 1-2 teaspoons of citric acid solution.
1 spoon of crystalline citric acid is dissolved in 2 spoons of hot water and the resulting solution is used in the manufacture of preparations, dosing it in drops or teaspoons (50 - 55 drops in 1 teaspoon of acid solution). Juice from one lemon corresponds to approximately 5 g of crystalline acid, or two teaspoons of its solution.
The finished cooked fruits should be spooned into clean glass or ceramic jars and poured with hot syrup.
The jars should not be immediately closed with lids, as hot steam will condense on the lid in the form of drops, which then cover the surface of the jam, which will negatively affect storage. The jars should be covered with gauze, and after cooling, roll up the lids.
Enjoy your meal!
Good day, friends!
Personally, I always get excited when I see pear jam in front of me. Because it has a very beautiful homogeneous consistency and it is thick. And its color is gorgeous, it’s amber, but at the same time transparent, if you start scooping it with spoons and adding it to pie fillings or just crushing it with it. Depending on the type of fruit, such a delicacy may be emerald.
Undoubtedly, in order to cook pear jam and properly seal it in jars for the winter, you need to know some rules. And follow the advice and recommendations from chefs or culinary experts. Start as usual if you are a beginner with the simplest recipes and move gradually to more sophisticated ones.
This miracle is cooked either in slices, that is, the fruit is cut into pieces, but if you have ordinary game, then this is not necessary. Since the fruits are small, you can use them whole. And remember, how we did it, they threw it straight into glass bottles with tails.
In general, choose and cast a spell, because I’m sure that guests appear in your house often and you arrange fun get-togethers. So why not treat them with such a delicacy? I think we're all in, then let's go.
Let me start by saying that you can take these short instructions and try this slightly sour and aromatic dish today. In this option, lemon will be used, which will act as an excellent preservative; it will prevent the jam from becoming moldy or the jars from flying off. For flavor and uniqueness, you can add vanilla sticks if desired.
I think you will like this recipe right away, the secret is in the cooking. To be honest, it resembles a five-minute exercise, but is only done in 3 passes.
The main thing is that all the pieces will be soaked in clear sugar syrup and will look even more gorgeous on display. festive table or at the bank. It's a pleasure to eat. I recommend trying it.
You may notice that the pear jam will be cooked several times, as I said at the very beginning, but this is what will help the slices not to boil over and remain safe and sound.
We will need:
- Conference pears – 0.5 kg
- Sugar - 0.5 kg
- Cinnamon - 0.5 sticks or ground as desired
- Lemon, its juice – 2 tbsp
Stages:
1. Take pears, you can take absolutely any variety, wash them thoroughly and chop them into small cubes or pieces. Determine the size of the lobes yourself; you can also chop them into half rings.
2. Cover the fruit with granulated sugar to release abundant juice. If you have a lot of pears, then after you start chopping them they will begin to darken, as can be observed with apples.
To do this, after cutting a couple of fruits, sprinkle with fresh lemon juice, then sprinkle with sugar. Next again fruit, juice and sugar. This way the pieces will not have time to darken.
3. After a few hours, if possible, leave overnight and start cooking. All the sugar will almost melt by this time. All you have to do is boil the mixture over low heat. Cook for 5 minutes in this sweet and sour syrup. Next, cool the jam and boil it again after 6 hours. You can wait 12 hours, the main thing is that it has already cooled down.
Advice! You can do it differently; in general, you can cook for about 1 hour, so as not to make several batches of cooking. When foam forms, remove it with a tablespoon.
4. After another 6 hours have passed, bring the mixture back to active boiling and cook for 5 minutes with a cinnamon stick and lemon peel (15-20 g).
5. While hot, pour into clean and dry sterile jars, preferably if you have liter or half liter jars. It's more convenient and practical. Take a special key and wrap it under the metal cover. Cover with a towel and leave to cool for 24 hours.
Store in a cellar or cool place. Bon appetit!
How to make thick pear jam
And really, how to do it. If you still haven’t understood, then I think I’ll show you another simple way to prepare such a preparation.
The cooking process itself will be fundamentally different from the previous one, although if you look at the products, they will seem absolutely familiar to you. So what are the differences? Read below and you will understand everything yourself.
By the way, the most best jam comes out of a wild pear tree. All the same, this is more true than if you use store-bought or imported fruit.
We will need:
- Pears – 2 kg
- Lemon – 2 pcs.
- Granulated sugar – 2 kg
- Water – 2 tbsp. or 500 ml
Stages:
1. This time I suggest cutting the lemons into half-slices, but first wash them together with the pears in running water.
By the way, so that bitterness is not present in the finished form, you should keep the lemons in boiling water for a minute, not yet cut, so that the boiling water pours over the skins.
Remove the seeds from the fruit and discard them.
2. Peel the pears, especially if you see that it is wrinkled and ugly. Cut into longitudinal segments.
3. Now make a syrup with the addition of lemons. Place the sliced lemon slices in a saucepan, add water from a boiling kettle and cook for 5 minutes. Then remove all the slices with a clean slotted spoon.
If the broth is cloudy or contains particles, take a sieve and strain. Then add granulated sugar and stir. Cook over low heat until it comes to a rolling boil so that the sugar is completely dissolved.
4. Now take the container in which you will cook the treat. Place the pears first, and then the lemon pieces on them. Pour boiling prepared syrup over it. Close the lid and leave for one hour.
5. All the fruits have been soaked in this decoction, and the pears have given up their juice. Now all that remains is to boil the mass again and cook after boiling for about one or one and a half hours. It is recommended to stir the jam during cooking.
Wow! Since lemons are used in this dessert, you can see that due to this the syrup will have a transparent structure and will help the mass thicken faster, and the fruits themselves will be amber in color when you start putting them in jars.
6. Pour into sterilized jars only when hot. Seal tightly with lids and let cool at room temperature under unnecessary items, turn the jars upside down.
Interesting! Pear jam prepared in this way lasts for a very long time and not even a single year. Unless of course you get to it first).

Of course, this is also very tasty, but at the moment we need a different effect.
We will need:
- ripe or unripe pear - 1 kg
- sugar - 1 kg
- water - 180 ml

3. You will get 4 handsome guys. Remove the seed pod and remove the tail.
4. Do the same work with all the other pears. Next, chop into crescents with a kitchen knife. Each piece should be no more than 4 mm thick.
6. After the time has passed, start cooking on the stove on medium mode. Simmer after active bubbling for 5-6 minutes, then let cool to room temperature. And then repeat the procedure a total of 3 times (boil, cool, boil, and so on). The syrup will turn yellow before your eyes and turn into a beautiful color.
7. After the jam has boiled for the third time for 5 minutes, do not turn off the heat, but continue cooking for another 30-40 minutes, until you reach the consistency you need. Next, take glass containers and pack the finished treat into sterile jars. You will get two small jars.

Even 3 thousand years BC, people cultivated pears. It is believed that pears came to Europe from the ancient Greek Peloponnese peninsula, which at that time was called the land of pears.
Pears have long been grown in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, the Caucasus, and Central Asian countries.
The medicinal properties of pears were used by Sumerian doctors.
Fresh pears improve digestion. Due to the large amount of tannins, a decoction of pears, especially wild ones, is prescribed for diarrhea. This decoction helps with coughs and fevers. It also has a diuretic, analgesic, and antiseptic effect.
Pear juice is an excellent remedy for strengthening capillaries.
Pears are good because they ripen when many berries and fruits have already died. Therefore, housewives are happy to prepare them for the winter: dry them, make compotes, preserves, and jams from them.
Subtleties of cooking
- Pears for jam should be ripe, but not soft. The jam made from green pears is soggy, pale, unattractive and unflavourful. When overripe pears are cooked (heat treated?), they become boiled, turning into porridge.
- In order for the pear slices to cook at the same time, the fruits must be of the same degree of ripeness and the same variety.
- The preparation of pears involves cutting off the peel and carefully cutting out the seed chambers.
- To prevent peeled pears from darkening, keep them in slightly acidified water before cooking.
- Small pears can be boiled whole; the rest can be cut into slices 2 cm wide.
- If the pears are sweet, then you can use half as much sugar as for cooking apple jam. In some cases, it is enough to take only 500 g of sugar for 1 kg of pears.

Helpful information
After sorting pears for jam, overripe or wrinkled fruits remain. They are used to make jam or marmalade. But if you don’t want to tinker with these preparations, then the remaining pears can be used for cosmetic purposes. For example, make a fruit mask. Ripe fruits contain a large amount of vitamins, beneficial microelements, and biologically active substances.
To prepare a fruit mask, pears are peeled and seed chambers removed, placed in a jar and thoroughly mashed. This pear puree is applied to the face, neck, chest, hands and kept for 20 minutes. Then wash off with warm water and lubricate the skin with cream.
