Apple or Pear Ginger Jam image

Old Victorian recipe from my grandmother. It works well with pears too if you get a bumper crop. Original was in imperial measure. Ginger can vary in intensity so taste and try before adding. Use as a tangy jam or in tartlets.

This jam is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This jam is a bit too runny for my taste. I think I'll try cooking it for a bit longer next time.

I had some trouble getting the jam to set. I ended up having to cook it for an extra 30 minutes.

I made this jam with pears instead of apples, and it turned out great! The pears give the jam a slightly softer texture and a more delicate flavor.

This apple ginger jam is absolutely delicious! It has the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, with a lovely hint of ginger. I love spreading it on toast or English muffins for breakfast.
