A delightful spiced pear preserve that combines the sweetness of ripe pears with warm spices, perfect for spreading on toast or as a topping for desserts.
Place all the chopped pears and lemon juice into a heavy pot.
Using a heavy pot ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
Mash the pears to your desired consistency using a potato masher.
For a chunkier preserve, mash lightly; for smoother, mash thoroughly.
Add the cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger to the pot and stir well.
Mix the spices evenly to ensure a balanced flavor.
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 1 minute.
Stir continuously to prevent burning.
Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.
Adding sugar at this stage helps to balance the sweetness.
Boil the mixture for 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Keep stirring to avoid sticking and ensure even cooking.
Ladle the preserve into sterile jars and seal them.
Ensure jars are properly sterilized to extend shelf life.
