Sometime during the weekend I saw a message in Recipes from someone wanting a recipe for Pear and Ginger Jam and I think it was you, but anyway for whoever requested it this is from NZ Gardener Homegrown 1 and it makes a lovely jam.
1. 5 kg pears, peeled and chopped 2 c water Grated rind and juice of 2 lemons 1. 5 kg sugar 120 g preserved ginger, chopped ( or more according to taste )
Simmer pears with water, lemon rind and juice until tender. Add the sugar and ginger and cook until setting point is reached. This could take up to 30 mins so take care that it doesn't start to burn.
I added more water than the recipe states as the pears I used were quite firm, about 1 cup extra I think.

indy95, yes, me! Thanks so much for taking time out to post it. I've got pears coming out my ears and I like ginger with just about everything, so I'm looking forward to squirreling away some of this for the winter.
Thanks again :)
