 <\/p>\n

The combination of vanilla and strawberry makes this jam perfect for using in desserts. It\u2019s also lovely spread on fresh warm scones or spooned into yoghurt at breakfast. You\u2019ll need a jam thermometer for this recipe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h4>\n

325g\/11\u00bdoz (about 2) very hard pears
\n500g\/1lb 2oz firm strawberries, hulled
\n400g\/14oz granulated or caster sugar
\n1 small lemon, juice only
\n1 vanilla pod, seeds only<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Method<\/h4>\n

Peel and grate the pears, minus the core and pips, into a large saucepan. Cover with 500ml\/18fl oz water, bring to the boil and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the pear strands are tender and the water has almost evaporated.<\/p>\n

Add the strawberries, and boil for another five minutes, or until the berries are very tender and the liquid has almost evaporated again.<\/p>\n

Add the sugar and lemon juice, bring to the boil and cook until the mixture reads 105C\/220F on a sugar thermometer. Stir frequently to check the mixture isn\u2019t sticking on the bottom of the saucepan.<\/p>\n

Stir in the vanilla seeds, then leave to cool for 2-3 minutes. Spoon the jam into hot, clean jars while the jam is hot, and seal immediately.<\/p>\n

Leave the jam for a day before eating, and after opening store it in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n
