11 simple recipes for five-minute pear jam for the winter

Many housewives dislike, and sometimes simply don't have the time, to spend hours at the stove in the summer heat preparing all kinds of preserves for the winter. In this case, quick and easy jam recipes from ripe pears, known collectively as "Five-Minute Jam," can come to the rescue. These recipes will save you energy and provide your family with a tasty and healthy product for the long winter.

Peculiarities of making jam and pears

Pears are boiled in several 5-minute batches. This keeps the slices intact and produces a clear, beautiful amber syrup. Moreover, the sweeter the pear variety, the less sugar will be needed to make the jam.

How to choose and prepare fruits

Select ripe, but not overripe fruits. They should be firm, elastic, not crushed, and free of any signs of rot. The fruit is washed, the stems are removed, and it is cut into seedless slices or large cubes, depending on the recipe.

Sterilization of containers

Sterilization of containers is carried out using a microwave oven, a multicooker, by roasting in a stovetop oven, or by placing the jars in a pan of boiling water.
