Note
When making a delicious and natural dessert, here are a few tips to help make it even better:
The jam can be consumed immediately after cooling, or stored for the winter by placing it in sterilized jars and sealing them with boiled lids.
You can adjust the proportions of pears and apples to your liking. Those who prefer a more pronounced pear flavor can use a 1:1 ratio.
To enhance the flavor, you can add cinnamon to the jam. Add it to the pan along with the fruit pieces at the beginning of cooking. One to two teaspoons will be enough.
The cooking time at each stage depends on the juiciness and ripeness of the fruit, but in general it should not exceed 45 minutes.
When prepared according to this recipe, the jam turns out smooth and homogeneous. If you want to leave small pieces of apples and pears in it, it is recommended to leave the skins on before cooking.
