Jam is prepared from almost all fruits, each of which brings its own flavor notes. Some fruits have a pronounced aroma and taste, others can not boast of such advantages, but have a lot of vitamins. To combine business with pleasure, one can combine tastes and aromas. You can do this with apples and pears. These two fruits are perfectly combined with each other, complementing each other. Apple and pear jam is a wonderful dessert, which we’ll talk about.
The simpler the tastier
For this recipe you will need pears and apples (1 kilogram each) and a kilogram of granulated sugar. Pear gives the jam a delicate texture, and apples give the taste and aroma. Pear and apple jam is very simple to prepare, but for a long time. First, cut the fruit into medium slices (without seeds) and put it in the dishes intended for cooking. We fill in pears and apples with sugar and leave for several hours. It is necessary that the juice is formed. After that, put the dishes on the fire and cook for about 10 minutes. Next, take a break for 8 hours. Then put the container on the fire and again cook for 5-10 minutes. Remove it from the stove again and leave it for 8 hours. For the last time we cook pear and apple jam for 5 minutes and put it in prepared jars. We close hermetically with covers and wrap. When the jam has cooled, put it in a cool place.
Apple and pear jam with poppy seeds
This recipe can be attributed to the original. To make it, you will need 500 grams of pears, 250 grams of apples, 200 grams of sugar, a large spoonful of poppy seeds, medium-sized lemon juice, half a small spoonful of cinnamon and the same amount of cardamom. We clean the fruit from the peel and seeds. Pear cut into cubes and put in a container with a thick bottom. Sprinkle them with lemon juice and cover with sugar. We chop the apples with a blender or three on a grater. Spread them to the pears. We put a container of jam on the fire, but small. After boiling add cinnamon and cardamom. Now you need to cook pear and apple jam for about 20 minutes. Do not forget to stir so that it does not burn. Meanwhile, fry poppy seeds in a dry frying pan. Then it needs to be crushed a little. Add it to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes. We spread the pear and apple jam in jars and close. In winter, such a treat will cause delight.
Small pear jam
I would especially like to say about small pears. They can be used when cooking whole jams. For cooking, take a kilogram of fruit, 6 glasses of sugar and 2.5 glasses of water. Wash the pears very carefully. Then we prick their skin with a toothpick in several places. This is necessary so that it remains intact during the cooking process, and the jam has a more aesthetic appearance. Then the pears should be scalded with boiling water and put on fire for 5 minutes. After they are removed from the broth and sugar is added to it. Cook the syrup and dip the fruits into it. Now you need to cook jam from small pears until fully cooked. In this case, the fruit should settle to the bottom. If a foam appears on top, then it must be removed. Put the jam in jars and wrap it in a blanket. When it cools, it must be placed in a cold place.
