Nashi and Lemon Jam Recipe
- 2 kilos of nashi (peeled, cored and chopped
- 3 medium lemons (strained juice and zest)
- 1 kilo of granulated jam sugar
- half a litre of water
- Prepare the pears and place in a large covered bowl, to stop them browning.
- Remove the zest from the lemons carefully to avoid adding the bitter pith. Set zest aside. Squeeze the lemon juice and strain.
- Add the water, chopped pears, lemon zest and juice to a large heavy bottomed saucepan.
- Simmer very gently until the pears are just soft.
- Pour in the sugar and stir, over a medium/low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
- Bring the heat up to a rolling boil. Allow to boil hard for ten minutes before testing for a set. If it has not reached setting point. Continue to boil rapidly, checking for a set every four minutes or so (set the timer for this). When the jam has set remove from the heat.
- Allow the jam to stand for a few minutes and pour into warmed sterilised jars. Cover with screw top lids or wax disks and cellophane tops. Label when cold. Store in a cool dry place.
