Pear jam with grapes
Description
A simple way to make preserves ahead of time. Pear jam with grapes can also be cooked in five-minute batches if you want to stretch the process over a full day. When making jam, keep a close eye on the heat so it does not scorch. The amount of syrup should depend on how juicy the pears are, so adjust my recipe to match the fruit you have on hand. So, here is how it goes. The jars keep for up to a year in a cool place.
