  • 500 g pear(s)

with cinnamon or vanilla

Roughly pick the elderberries; they will go through a sieve later, and wash thoroughly. Heat the berries in a saucepan with a little water until they release their juice. Then pass them through a sieve. Peel the pears and remove the cores. They don’t need to be chopped. Heat the pears, the pureed berries, the gelling sugar, and the cinnamon or vanilla extract together in a large saucepan. Be careful, it can boil over quickly! After 5 minutes of cooking, puree with a hand blender. Pour the jam, while still hot, into preserving jars. Seal the jars and let cool.
