Pear Jam

£4.90 per 300ml jar

Pear jam is a delicious way to preserve pears for year-round use. Packed with flavour, this locally made pear jam makes a thick jam naturally without added pectin. It is harvested from local orchards.

At harvest time, right as the slightly under ripe pears were picked, a portion of the harvest are diverted to pear preserves as is the case here.

Did you know?

Homemade pear jam is an old fashioned preserve, popular before commercial pectin became widely available. Unlike apples, which can be stored for longer, pears are generally short-lived fruits. Did you know that If let to ripen on the tree, they’ll actually begin to rot from the inside out? Generally, pears are picked a bit under ripe and you allow them to mature on the counter for a few weeks before eating fresh.
