Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

yellow jam from the old plum variety Spillinge

Wash the pears, place them in a saucepan, and cover halfway with water. Simmer for about 3 minutes, remove them from the water with a slotted spoon, and then pass them through a sieve into a large saucepan, reserving the remaining cooking water. Wash and core the pears, and add them in small pieces to the sieved pears. Add a dash of lemon juice. Weigh the fruit mixture and, if necessary, top up with more fruit or the cooking water until the total weight reaches 1 kg. Then mix the sugar and gel fix, add to the fruit mixture in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil according to the package instructions. I quickly pureed the jam and then poured it into hot, prepared jars. After sealing the jars, turn them upside down and turn them over after about 30 minutes.
