A delightful twist on a classic pear preserve, enhanced with warm spices for a comforting flavor.
Peel, core, and dice the pears into small pieces.
Use a sharp knife to make the peeling and coring process easier.
In a 6-quart stainless steel pot, combine the diced pears, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, cloves, and ginger.
Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar starts to dissolve evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Keep an eye on the pot to prevent the mixture from boiling over.
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are soft and the mixture thickens.
Mash the pears slightly with the back of the spoon for a smoother texture.
Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves from the mixture.
Ensure all cloves are removed to avoid biting into them later.
Spoon the hot preserve into sterile jars, leaving a 1/2 inch headspace.
Use a funnel to make filling the jars easier and less messy.
Wipe the rims of the jars clean, adjust the lids, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Ensure the jars are fully submerged in the boiling water for proper sealing.
Allow the jars to cool completely before storing them in a cool, dark place.
Check the seals on the jars after cooling to ensure they are properly sealed.
Enjoy your spiced pear preserve on toast, pancakes, or as a delightful addition to your cheese board.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
