I love this Pear and Ginger Marmalade and I always try to make a batch in the run up to Christmas. The pears give a sweet fruity base for this marmalade and the gingery provides a warm, comforting sensation as you eat it.
This recipe makes use of the natural pectin which is found in pear skin and seeds. Pectin is the ingredient which helps jam and marmalade to set. Pears are naturally high in pectin so we wrap the peelings and seeds in muslin and boil it with the marmalade. Just don’t forget to remove the muslin bag at the end!
To make Pear and Ginger Marmalade, you will need the following ingredients:
Peel the pears. Remove the seeds and core but do not discard them. Slice the pears thinly using a mandolin, peeler or sharp knife.
Grate the ginger into a bowl using a box grater. Reserve the juice in a small jug.
Mix the pear, ginger, lemon juice and sugar together in a plastic bowl. Place in the refrigerator for 12 hours to allow the flavors to blend.
Place the seeds and peelings in a cheesecloth or muslin. Wrap them up and tie the package securely with some kitchen twine. Place it in a medium sized pot.
Remove the pear and ginger mixture from the refrigerator and transfer it to the pot. Place over medium heat and skim any froth which appears from the top. Simmer for 30-40 minutes.
Remove the seeds and peels and discard them. Spoon or ladle the hot marmalade into sterilized jars.
Serve this marmalade on hot toast with butter.

This Pear and Ginger Marmalade is just superb! I made it last year for a holiday gathering and everyone loved it. The combination of sweet pears and warm ginger is just perfect. I even served it with some cheese and crackers, and it was gone in no time. Can't wait to make another batch this year!
Fabulous and easy. I made this for Thanksgiving gifts last year, and everyone loved it. The ginger added a nice kick and the pears turned out so sweet. It reminded me of my grandmother's kitchen during the holidays.
