Notes

For the best texture, ensure the pears are fully ripe before starting the jam. You can also adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of the pears. If you prefer a smoother jam, use a potato masher while cooking to break down the fruit further. Store the jam in a cool, dark place for extended shelf life, and refrigerate after opening.
