It’s not quite common to make pear jam or jelly, but anyone who likes sweet and delicate flavors has to give it a try! Red tea (Tuo Cha would be perfect) gives off a slightly woody fragrance that balances with the sweetness of fresh pears. This pear jam would be perfect on a good slice of bread for breakfast, or with scones or pancakes when you have your afternoon tea.
