Ingredients

• 3 large ripe pears
• 0.5 cup powdered erythritol
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons unsweetened apple pectin

Directions

Step 1

Grate the fresh ginger finely.

Step 3

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine diced pears, grated ginger, powdered erythritol, lemon juice, and water.

Step 4

Stir the mixture over medium heat until it starts to bubble gently. Make sure the erythritol dissolves completely.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pears are very soft and the liquid has reduced.

Step 6

Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the pears in the saucepan until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the apple pectin slowly while stirring constantly to prevent clumping.

Step 8

Raise the heat slightly and bring the mixture back to a gentle boil for 5 more minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 10

Let the jam cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars.

Step 11

Seal the jars and let them cool at room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.

Step 12

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
