Ginger Pear Freezer Jam image

At dinner with friends one evening, one of our hosts served some pears she had preserved with ginger and lemon. The flavor was so heavenly I decided to use the fresh pears she gave us to try my hand at a ginger and lemon freezer jam.-Jeni Pittard, Commerce, Georgia

This jam is a great way to use up ripe pears. It's also a great way to add a little bit of sweetness to your breakfast or snack. I love the way the ginger adds a little bit of spice to the jam.
