I harvested enough pears from my niece’s tree to try something that caught my fancy this year: pear vanilla jam. The combination of fresh pears and real vanilla bean intrigued me, and I was glad I tried it.

 

This small batch jam is rich and delectable, with flecks of vanilla. Suggestion: use it sparingly and savor it. Some jams are meant to be enjoyed thoughtfully. This is one of them. See what you think.

Ingredients: fresh pears, organic vanilla bean paste, sugar, natural fruit pectin
