Ingredients

1 kg pear (s) (rock pear)
1 packet preserving sugar (: 2)

Instructions

Simply rinse and chop the pears, neither pitting nor removing the small pieces of fruit. Reduce according to the instructions on the sugar pack and pour into prepared glasses while still hot.
The rock pear is admittedly difficult to pick, but it is all the more worth it because it makes an extremely tasty jam that tastes slightly like marzipan. This is because the small kernels contain bitter almond (hydrocyanic acid) - but to a small extent.
I ate a lot of the tasty fruits and didn`t have any problems. In the meantime, the jam has become my favorite. Neither the small stones nor the fruit set bother me in the jam - both become soft.
I also juiced the pears and made jelly from them - however, it is not as tasty as the jam, which only gets its special flavor through the kernels.
So if you own edible rock pears, I can only recommend this jam.
