Homemade Abate Fetel pear jam brings honeyed pear sweetness to your jar. First, you peel, seed, and slice the pears. Then, simmer them gently with lemon juice and water until soft. Next, puree to your desired consistency and blend with sugar. Finally, boil until thickened, let it rest, and jar while warm. The result is smooth, fragrant, and richly comforting.

Ingredients
● 1 kg pears (peeled)
● 500 g sugar
● 200 g water
● juice of 1/2 lemon

Directions
Peel the pears and remove the seeds.
Slice into bite-sized pieces and put them in a pot with the lemon juice and the water.
Put the pot to simmer on low heat until soft and then puree with an immersion blender, slightly or more, depending on our preferred consistency.
Next, add the sugar, stir and increase the heat to medium.
Boil all together until the jam has thickened, about 25-30 minutes.
Once we have turned off the heat, allow the jam to rest and then store in clean glass jars.
