Puree the pear slices into the blackberry jam. Add the gelling sugar and prepare according to the package instructions. It doesn’t really matter which gelling sugar you use. The important thing is the blackberry:pear ratio (2:1), so the jam isn’t too pear-heavy, but still velvety enough. The pears turn the blackberry jam into a very smooth, velvety spread that melts in your mouth…
