11 simple recipes for making pear jelly for the winter


Features of preparing pear jelly

To prepare a high-quality finished product, it is necessary to carefully select the raw materials. Pears should be as ripe as possible, but not contain any traces of spoilage. The fruits must be thoroughly washed, the skin and core removed, and areas damaged by mold must be cut off.

Important! The type of fruit is not important for making jelly. If the fruits have hard flesh, their preparation will take a little longer.

Pre-peeled pears require additional processing. The pulp is cut into small cubes of 2-3 cm. They are covered with sugar so that its layer completely covers the fruit slices. It is best to leave the preparation overnight. After 10 hours, the pulp will release juice, which will mix with sugar - this is the future basis for making jelly.

A special feature of pears is that their color changes when exposed to oxygen. When left in the open air for a long time, the pulp begins to acquire a brownish tint. To avoid such a misunderstanding, experienced housewives advise sprinkling the fruit mass with a small amount of citric acid.

When additional gelling agents are used, preparing the ingredients can take significantly less time. Gelatin and gelfix are additives that greatly simplify the preparation of jelly. When used correctly, even an inexperienced housewife can make a delicious dessert.

Tricks for making homemade pear jelly

Regardless of the recipe, fruits for making jelly are selected that are ripe, with dense, juicy pulp. Pears with a loose texture, greenish or, conversely, overripe are not suitable for gelatinous desserts and winter preparations.

All fruits must be intact, without wormholes, spoilage, or rot. Before processing, pears are washed. For jelly for the winter, only the pulp is used - the skin must be removed, the core with seeds, tails and stalks are removed.

If the recipe specifies alcoholic beverages, but the dessert is intended for children, you can either omit alcohol at all or add it to the broth at the very beginning of cooking. Alcohols evaporate at high temperatures, so the finished product will be absolutely harmless to babies.

To check the readiness of jelly without gelatin, you need to drop a little hot substance onto a cold, clean saucer. If the mass quickly sets and thickens, it’s time to pour the product into bowls or sterilized jars (for winter preparation).

Important! Aluminum utensils are never used to prepare jellies, desserts and sweet preparations from pears. When in contact with metal, the fruit mass oxidizes, which negatively affects the color and taste of the dish.

It’s not every year that pears produce such a harvest as they do now! Just think of something interesting and unusual to prepare from them and what kind of jam to make for the winter. It will come to that, but for now I offer a photo recipe for pear jelly for the winter. It will not turn out very dense even though it contains gelatin. The consistency of the jelly will be like a very, very thick jam, perfect for sandwiches, pancakes, cheesecakes, layers of pies and gingerbread. The taste is sweet and sour due to the added lime, but you can reduce the amount and make sweet pear jelly.

Ingredients:

– Juicy soft pears – 1 kg, – sugar – 0.5 kg, – lime – 2 pcs (small) or half a large lemon, – instant gelatin – 1 tsp, – water – 2 tbsp. l.

Recipe with photos step by step:

We will not peel the pears, we will just cut out the middle with the seeds. To do this, cut clean washed fruits into four parts. Cut out the middle along with the tail.


Cut the pears into small pieces. Pour into a thick-bottomed pan or cauldron. If your pears are not juicy, then pour in half a glass of water, otherwise, while the pears give juice, they may burn.

Sprinkle the sliced ​​pears with sugar. Leave for about ten minutes and let the sugar melt. Peel the limes or half a lemon and cut it off along with the white layer, which gives the bitterness. Cut the peeled lime into pieces, being sure to remove all the seeds. Place the lime slices in a saucepan with the pears and sugar.

First put it on low heat, and when the pears give juice, increase it to maximum. Bring the pears in syrup to a boil. Now reduce the heat to minimum, cover the dish with a lid, cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Boil the syrup by half; during cooking, the pears will soften, darken and become saturated with the aroma of lime. The syrup should taste sweet and sour.

Transfer the pears along with the syrup into a blender or puree everything directly in a saucepan (cauldron).

The resulting puree must be rubbed through a fine sieve to remove any remaining skin and zest. It is easy to wipe, but you need to do this while the fruit puree is hot.

Pour two tablespoons of water into a small bowl and add a teaspoon of instant gelatin. In a steam bath, bring the gelatin to a liquid state. Pour gelatin into hot pear puree”>>

Pour gelatin into hot pear puree, stir and put on fire.

We don’t bring it to a boil, we just need to warm the puree well so that it begins to thicken.

We take small jars, 200-250 grams. Be sure to heat it over steam or sterilize it in another way. Don’t forget to wash and boil the lids (this needs to be done in advance, while the pears are boiling or the puree is being rubbed through a sieve). Fill the hot jar with boiling puree and screw on the screw cap. Turn it over onto the lid and leave it in the kitchen under a towel until the morning.

There are no problems with storing pear jelly. It does not have to be taken out to a cool place; pear jelly is stored well at room temperature in a kitchen cabinet or pantry. Good luck with your preparations and have a delicious winter!

Classic pear jelly recipe

The traditional way of preparing a delicious dessert involves using a minimum set of ingredients - fruit, sugar and water. You will also need a little lemon for a brighter taste. The cooking process is as follows:

  1. The prepared mass of pears and sugar is placed in a large enamel pan and filled with water 3-4 cm above the level.
  2. Cook the mixture for half an hour with constant stirring. The pears must be completely cooked.
  3. The mass is poured into a colander to get the maximum amount of syrup. The fruits themselves are removed - they will not be useful in the future.
  4. The amount of sugar used is determined from the total volume of liquid. For 1 liter of syrup you need 600 g of granulated sugar.
  5. Boil the resulting mass over low heat until thickened. To check the readiness of the jelly, you need to drop a small amount of broth onto a plate. If it hardens and takes shape, the product is ready, in other cases it is necessary to continue cooking.

Spices such as cinnamon and vanilla can be used as additional flavoring additives. The finished product is poured into special containers and placed in the refrigerator. Once the syrup has hardened, the dessert can be served.

Recipe 6: dessert - raspberry jelly with cognac

Making pear jelly is no more difficult than making regular jam. First you need to prepare all the necessary ingredients and containers for the preparation, and then start cooking.

Before you start cooking, you need to choose the ingredients. Ripe or even overripe fruits are suitable for jelly. To obtain a uniform consistency, remove the skin. If you want the jelly to have pieces of fruit, you can leave the peel.

You can diversify the taste of the dessert by adding various ingredients. For example, these could be spices, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, other fruits and berries, citrus zest.

To prepare dessert, it is better to use an enamel pan rather than an aluminum one. If you don’t have an enamel pan at hand and you have to cook it in an aluminum one, immediately after cooking, put the finished jelly into jars. If you leave it in the pan, acid will begin to release, which will have a bad effect on the taste of the dessert.

First you need to rinse the pears and lemon, wipe them, and prepare the remaining ingredients.

We peel the pears from the core and cut the fruit into pieces, put them together with the lemon in a saucepan.

Add sugar to the pan and place it on low heat.

Simmer the pear over low heat for 5-6 minutes, then increase the heat to maximum and bring the liquid to a boil (the pears should release juice). After this, turn the heat down again to the lowest possible setting and continue cooking the pears with lemon for 15-20 minutes, stirring them occasionally.

After time, the resulting mass must be ground through a fine sieve or using a special device.

Next, soak the gelatin according to the instructions on the package. Pour the pear mass into the pan again, add the swollen gelatin and place the pan on low heat. Constantly stirring the mass, heat it so that the gelatin is completely dissolved, but do not bring it to a boil. Pour the future jelly into sterilized jars and close tightly with lids.

We put the jars of jelly together, cover them with a towel and leave them until they cool completely.

  • medium apples - 10 pcs.
  • lemon - 1 pc.
  • granulated sugar - 2 cups
  • cinnamon -1 stick

To prepare this jelly, select ripe apples of a not too sweet variety with sourness, rinse them thoroughly in cold water, remove the stems, cut into slices and remove the cores (you can skip this process). Also rinse the lemon and cut it in half.

Pour quarters of apples into a deep and suitable volume (not aluminum) pan, and add lemon halves along with a small stick of aromatic cinnamon. Fill the contents of the pan with water so that the liquid completely covers the fruit slices, bring to a boil and cook the apples over low heat for 45-60 minutes.

Now the straining process will take place. Take another equally voluminous non-aluminum pan, place a large sieve or colander with gauze on top, and place the contents of the pan with apples there. Over the next night or just 8 hours, leave the apples to drain like this.

Do not press the apples under any circumstances, otherwise the jelly will be cloudy; the fruit can only be lightly and very carefully mixed. After the specified time has passed, you can put small glass jars in the oven for sterilization and continue preparing apple jelly. The resulting mass should be approximately the same as shown in the photo.

It’s okay if the strained juice looks a little cloudy after eight hours; further boiling will take care of this problem. We place the pan on the stove, having first measured the volume of the resulting clean liquid: for about 600 milliliters of juice you need to use 1 cup of sugar.

Pour granulated sugar into a saucepan, mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon, heat and dissolve the crystals. After boiling, cook the jelly for about 15-20 minutes until thick and ready.

Pour the hot jelly into the glass jars we prepared earlier at the same temperature, seal it tightly or screw it with the same sterilized lids. Leave the jelly at room temperature until it cools completely, and then put it in the refrigerator until it hardens, and store it there.

  • apples 500 grams
  • water 2.5 glasses
  • sugar ¾ cup
  • gelatin 15 grams
  • cinnamon to taste

Pour half a liter of water into a saucepan, add sugar there and heat, stirring until the syrup drips slowly from the spoon.

We wash the apples and cut them into pieces along with the skin and hard core with seeds, since they contain the substances necessary for the formation of jelly. After this, fill the apples halfway with water and put on the fire and cook after boiling for half an hour, then pour the boiled apples into a pan with gauze through a colander.

Cover the colander with a lid and leave the apples for two hours until all the juice has drained into the pan. Next, we make jelly from this juice. Measure the resulting juice using a measuring cup. And based on a liter of juice, we add seven hundred grams of sugar, add sugar to our juice and set it to simmer.

  • Orange juice – 300 ml
  • Sugar - 30 g
  • Instant gelatin - 8 g
  • Canned cherries 200
  • Water 250ml
  • Sugar 100
  • Gelatin 1 tbsp. lodge
  • Cherry juice 1 cup.
  1. Prepared pears for the winter - recipes, as a rule, are not limited to just jam. Thick jam, transparent jelly, confiture or jam can be preserved.
  2. Pears go well with other fruits or berries, so you can safely combine the composition of compotes, preserves or jams.
  3. The fruit contains a large amount of pectin, so canned pear dishes for the winter do not require the addition of gelatin and other thickening ingredients.

To prepare such a culinary masterpiece you will need:

  • 500 ml pear syrup;
  • 100 g dark chocolate;
  • 200 g granulated sugar;

Gelatin is dissolved in 50 ml of boiled water. The chocolate is melted in a water bath, after which it is poured into the pear decoction. It is important to introduce in a thin stream, stirring constantly to obtain a homogeneous mass.

Important! The pear syrup should be hot - 70-80 degrees, so that the chocolate does not harden in it.

Sugar and gelatin dissolved in water are added to the resulting mixture. It is placed on the fire and brought to a boil. After 5 minutes of cooking, the future jelly is removed from the heat, cooled and poured into prepared cups. They are placed in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until the product completely hardens.
