Instructions

  1. Peel the pears, remove the cores and cut them into small cubes.
  2. Put the pear cubes in a large saucepan with the water and lemon juice.
  3. Cook over low heat for 20 minutes, mashing the pieces with a wooden spoon.
  4. Add the sugar, cinnamon and zest, then simmer over low heat for 25 minutes, stirring regularly.
  5. Check the set: a drop placed on a cold plate should not run. Pour into sterilised jars while still hot.

Variations and tips

Walnut version. Add 50 g of crushed walnuts at the end of cooking for more texture.
