An outrageously sweet pleasure. Dip a sugar cookie in or spread on a piece of bread. Check out my blog for more about this recipe: http://a-french-foodie-in-the-city.blogspot.com/2006/11/pear-and-chocolate-jam.html
Ingredients
- juice of 1 lemon shopping list
- 2 pounds pears shopping list
- 3 cups sugar (preferably pectin enriched) shopping list
- 1/3 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped (makes about 1 cup) shopping list
How to make it
- Put a small plate in your freezer.
- Pour the lemon juice in a bowl.
- Peel and core the pears. Dice them and mix the pieces in the bowl with the lemon juice.
- In a large saucepan mix the pears and sugar and bring to a boil under medium-high heat. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and foaming if necessary.
- To check if it is set, pour a little jam on your cold plate. Wait for a few second and see if it doesn’t run, it is set, otherwise, keep on cooking and try again a few minutes later.
- Stir the chocolate into the jam, wait for a simmer then turn the heat off.
- Put in jars and cover (or can following National Center for Home Food Preservation recommendations).
