PEAR JELLY WITH CINNAMON



PEAR JELLY WITH CINNAMON image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Fruit     Boil

Yield 3 jars (1lb each)

Number Of Ingredients 6

15 pears, peeled, cored and chopped
½ teaspoon cinnamon
660g of jam sugar (with added pectin for fruits with low pectin levels)
Iced water
3-4 small jars with tight fitting lids
Circles of greaseproof paper cut slightly smaller than the top of each jar

Steps:

  • Wash the jars thoroughly in hot soapy water. Rinse and leave to drain. To sterilise, place them in a cold oven (including metal lids) and turn up to around 120oC for at least 15 minutes. Place chopped pears in a large, heavy-based saucepan with around 1 inch of cold water. Bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn down the heat and leave to cook until soft Blend the cooked pears (with their cooking water) into a puree. Sieve the puree, either using a cheesecloth or a juicer attachment for the blender. This should produce around 500ml of juice. Discard the remaining pear pulp. Place the juice into a large, heavy-based saucepan and heat gently. Stir in the cinnamon. Add the jam sugar while stirring constantly. Bring back to the boil until it reaches a 'rolling' boil (where the liquid does not stop boiling even when stirred). Separately, place a metal teaspoon in a small bowl of iced water and check that the jars in the oven are still hot. Once boiling, cook for a further 4 minutes (or as per jam sugar instructions). Turn off the heat. Take the teaspoon out of the iced water and extract one spoonful of the boiling liquid. Cool it quickly by holding it on the surface of the iced water. Tip the spoon - if the pear jelly sets almost immediately, it is ready. If it does not set, bring the pan back to the boil and test again after another minute. Once the jelly is ready to set, pour it into the hot sterilised jars, almost to the brim. Cover each jar with a circle of greaseproof paper on top of the jelly (ensuring that there are no air bubbles). Place the lids on the jars tightly and leave to cool. Store in a cool, dry, dark place.

Tips:

  • Prep your jars: Always sterilize your jars and lids in boiling water before using them. This will help prevent spoilage and ensure your jelly lasts longer.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your jelly will taste. Try to use ripe, flavorful fruit for the best results.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Jelly making is a precise process, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't try to substitute ingredients or change the proportions, as this could result in a failed batch of jelly.
  • Don't overcook the jelly: Overcooked jelly will be thick and gummy. To prevent this, cook the jelly until it reaches the desired consistency, then remove it from the heat immediately.
  • Store the jelly properly: Once you've made your jelly, store it in a cool, dark place. Jelly can be stored for up to a year, but it's best to enjoy it within a few months for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

Making cinnamon jelly at home is a fun and rewarding experience. With the right ingredients and a little patience, you can create a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, pancakes, waffles, or even ice cream. So next time you're looking for a homemade gift or a special treat for yourself, give cinnamon jelly a try. You won't be disappointed!
