Simply amazing. I thought having a jam texture with chocolate would be weird, but it definitely isn't! The blend of pear and chocolate taste amazing! I can't wait to share this with my family for christmas! I found this recipe on Grouprecipes.com and had to share when I saw there was nothing on here like this. Thanks Aurore!

1 lemon, juice of
2 lbs pears
3 cups sugar
1/3 lb bittersweet chocolate, chopped (about 3 oz.)

Steps:

  • Put a small plate in the freezer for later use.

  • Mix the pears and lemon juice in a large sauce pan.
  • Add sugar and bring to boil. Lower heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Chop chocolate and put aside.
  • Once you hit 20 minutes, take the plate out of the freezer and put a small amount of jam on it to test for gelling. Wait for a few seconds and then see if jam runs. If it does and you want a thick jam, cook for a few more minutes and repeat process.
