Preparation
Step 1
Bartlett pears are best but if you use hard winter pears, it is a good idea to steam the prepared pieces first in a preserving kettle.
Use small amount of water, cover and steam till fruit is soft.
Combine all ingredients and let stand overnight.
Next day bring to a boil on top of stove, then to avoid having to stand over it and stirring, place in a 300 degree oven for 1/2 hour or until clear and thick.
Jam will turn a lovely amber gold colour.
Pour into sterilized jars and seal.
Yields 20 jelly jars
