Notes: I made some pear jam this year and we love it! But unfortunately, I forgot to copy the recipe on to my blog. But I'm pretty sure this is the recipe I used so I'm adding it now to help me next year as I know we'll be wanting to make more. The spices are subtle and really remind me of Christmas.
