Apple or Pear Ginger Jam image

Old Victorian recipe from my grandmother. It works well with pears too if you get a bumper crop. Original was in imperial measure. Ginger can vary in intensity so taste and try before adding. Use as a tangy jam or in tartlets.

This is the best apple-pear ginger jam I've ever had! It's the perfect balance of sweet, tart, and spicy.

This jam is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a nice jam. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've tried this recipe with both apples and pears, and I prefer it with pears. The pears give the jam a smoother texture.

This jam is a great way to use up leftover apples and pears. It's also a great gift idea for friends and family.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but this jam is still really good. The apples and pears are sweet enough to balance out the ginger flavor.

This jam is a bit too runny for my liking. I think I'll try cooking it for a little longer next time.

I made this jam with some pears from my tree and it turned out great! The ginger really complements the sweetness of the pears.

This jam is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a nice change from regular apple or pear jam.
