Tips:
- To make sure your jam sets properly, use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the jam as it cooks. The jam should reach a temperature of 220°F (105°C) before you remove it from the heat.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the jam by spooning a small amount onto a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is ready.
- For a smoother jam, strain the jam through a fine-mesh sieve before canning it.
- To prevent the jam from darkening, add a few drops of lemon juice to the jam as it cooks.
- Store the jam in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.

Ginger pear jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, scones, or sandwiches. It can also be used as a glaze for chicken or fish, or as a filling for pies and tarts. With its sweet and spicy flavor, ginger pear jam is sure to please everyone at your table.
