Pear Jam

This easy to make pear jam recipe can be made either with pectin or no pectin added depending on your preferences. The no pectin recipe will result in a much softer jam than if you add it. There's nothing quite like having something warm and spicy after a brisk autumn walk. A steaming hot cup of tea, a scone, and some spicy pear jam warms you through and knocks away that autumn chill. This recipe is designed to do just that. It has more spices in it than most pear jams just to give you that added glow.
