How to cook?

Recipe number 1

To caramelize a pear, you need to prepare:

• 2-3 pears (you should choose firm fruits, they should not be too soft, otherwise, during the cooking process, the latter may boil and turn into porridge);
• 50 grams of oil;
• 2 or 3 tbsp. l. Sahara;
• 150-170 ml of pure water;
• half a lemon;

For cooking, you need to melt the sugar in a frying pan to make caramel. Put the pan on very low heat, add oil, add sugar and squeeze the juice out of the lemon.

While the caramel is preparing, it is worth preparing the fruit. Wash the pears under running water, cut and remove the seeds. You can pour lemon juice over the cut area so that the fruit does not darken.

Hot water mixed with grape juice is poured into a frying pan. Pour in liquid carefully so that there is no splashing. After boiling, the pears are placed on the bottom of the pan so that their cut is from the bottom. The pears should be boiled in this syrup for 5 or 7 minutes. After that, the halves are turned over and allowed to boil for another 5 minutes. The syrup will thicken as it cooks. After the sauce has thickened, turn off the heat and leave the pears in the pan until they cool completely.

Cook cut fruit in caramel, making a small fire, for 5–7 minutes, then turn the pears over to the other side and boil for the same amount of time. The readiness of the fruit can be checked with the sharp tip of a knife. The knife should pass freely through the pears. If the knife comes in with difficulty, the cooking time of the fruit can be increased. After readiness, the caramelized fruits are kept in a container until they cool.

In the event that very juicy pears were chosen for the dish, then the caramel may remain liquid and not thicken. In this case, the pears are taken out, and the syrup is left to cook to make it thicker.

Unlike apples, pears this year decided not to upset me and just presented a splendid harvest. And that's why I make homemade pear jam - tender, aromatic and very tasty! In my culinary book there are several successful recipes for pear jam with slices, but, in addition to the traditional proven ones, I decided to make a new one - fried pear jam with lemon. Why fried? Because it is not cooked in the usual way - in a frying pan. That is, you do not cook it painfully for a long time, but quickly fry it in a pan.

It turns out very tasty pear jam in just half an hour. The only drawback of this recipe is that you cannot cook a lot of such jam at a time, the amount is strongly limited by the capacity of the pan. But they all have their flaws, right? In a sense, this is even convenient - you definitely will not get tired until you prepare a small portion of jam, and this process will only be a joy to you.

I hope you are interested in me and you are already looking forward to learning how to make pear and lemon jam. In this case, I invite you to my kitchen - it is impossible to cook delicious thick pear jam.

Ingredients for a frying pan with a diameter of 26 cm:

• 0.7 kg of pears;
• 250 g sugar;
• juice and zest of half a lemon (medium).

* The weight of the prepared pears is indicated - peeled and hard core.

How to make pear jam in a pan:

For the jam, we need hard but ripe pears. We peel them and cut them into arbitrary small pieces about 0.5 cm thick.

As I said, this is a recipe for pear and lemon jam: we need both zest and juice. Pour pears, sugar and lemon zest into a dry frying pan with a Teflon coating, pour lemon juice. Mix gently.

We put the pan on medium heat and bring to a boil - the pears are letting in a lot of juice at once, the mass will become liquid. Remove foam and reduce heat to minimum.

We cook the jam, periodically skimming off the foam, for 25-30 minutes, so that it becomes thicker and the color becomes darker (at the beginning of cooking, the pears were completely white).

We immediately lay out the finished jam in dry sterilized jars. Like most recipes for jams, this is a pear jam - no sterilization. Therefore, we simply tightly close the jars with lids. Turn the jars upside down and let stand until they cool completely.

You can store such jam at room temperature, but always in a dark place.

At the same time, it is better to cook the jam from pears of the same variety. In this case, all the pieces will be cooked at the same time, and they will look the same.

If you cut the pears, and there is no way to cook the jam immediately after that, then they need to be placed in a salty solution (10 g of salt per 1 liter of water). This will prevent them from darkening. Before cooking the pears, we put them in a colander so that the excess liquid is glass.

Fry large pieces of pears in a skillet over medium heat.

Fry thin pears in a skillet over medium heat.
