Pear Jam with Tea: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cups of peeled and diced pears
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of white granulated sugar
• 1 tea bag (preferably earl grey)
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Start by preparing the pears. Peel and dice them into small cubes and set them aside.
2. In a medium-sized saucepan, add 1 cup of water and the tea bag. Heat the water and let the tea steep for 5 minutes or until it has reached the desired strength.
3. Once the tea is prepared, remove the tea bag from the saucepan and add the diced pears. Simmer the mixture until the pears become soft and tender. This should take around 10-15 minutes.
4. Add the sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the saucepan. Stir the mixture thoroughly and continue simmering the mixture for another 20-25 minutes or until the mixture has thickened and reached the desired jam consistency.
5. Once the mixture has thickened, turn off the heat and let it cool completely. Once cooled, transfer the mixture into a sterilized jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
