It's not really a marmalade in the strictest definition of the word, but it comes close. This was spoons on top of chocolate fondant lava cakes which were also made that evening.

Yield 7-8 half-pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 large firm pears, peeled, cored, and grated (about 2 quarts grated)
3 medium thin-skinned lemons
1 piece ginger, 4 x 1 inch, peeled and diced
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Place spices in a tea ball or tie up in a cheesecloth bag.
  • Process ginger and water in blender until pureed. Strain well through a fine sieve, pressing down to get as much liquid as possible. Discard the ginger and reserve the liquid.
  • Take two of the lemons and quarter lengthwise. Slice the white pith off the core of each piece and remove the seeds. Slice each piece crosswise as thinly as possible, preferably with a mandoline.
  • Grate the zest from the remaining lemon and squeeze the juice from it.

Tips:

  • Select the right pears: Use firm, ripe pears that are not too soft or bruised. This will ensure that the marmalade has a good texture and flavor.
  • Prepare the pears properly: Peel, core, and cut the pears into small pieces. This will help them cook evenly and release their juices.
  • Use fresh lemons: The zest and juice of fresh lemons add a bright, citrusy flavor to the marmalade. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it does not have the same flavor or aroma.
  • Add spices to taste: The spices used in this recipe are just a suggestion. You can adjust the amount of each spice to suit your own taste. Some other spices that you might want to try include cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
  • Cook the marmalade until it reaches the desired consistency: The marmalade is done when it has reached a thick, syrupy consistency. You can test the consistency by dropping a small amount of the marmalade onto a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.

Conclusion:

Spiced lemon pear marmalade is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, or pancakes. It can also be used as a glaze for ham or chicken. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made with just a few simple ingredients. So next time you have a few extra pears on hand, give this recipe a try!
