Pear jam is not so commonly found in grocery stores, so here’s a recipe for making it yourself. Almost any variety of pear will work, but Anjou or Bartlett are particularly good in jams; ripe ones will always have better flavor than those that are still on the firmer side. You should adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the fruit. Fresh lemon juice and gingerbread spices are the only seasonings.
