Plum Kissed Pear Jam
I made this last summer. And with the snow finally starting to melt I am beginning to think about summer again, longingly.
Bob is hilarious at the moment. He is munching on icicles, slipping on ice, licking the skating rink we now have just outside the house as he skids and slides along.
We also have discovered a new plant. The icicle bush. It seems to grow by the house and is twiggy with icicles all over it. So pretty.
This jam just makes me think of summer, plums and pears. Last year we bought fruit by the basket from a truck that came to Alberta from BC. There was such wonderful fruit all picked and sold by the farmer.
And the name… how can you not love something with “kissed” in the name?
I am definitely making this jam again this summer. And looking forward to getting my pretty little glass bowls and things out of storage!
93 sleeps… not that I am counting!

I love the name of this recipe. And the Pear jam looks absolutely divine. I am not into Pears so much, but I know my mom will enjoy this if I make it. Thanks for sharing this 🙂
It is a really light taste, the plums add so much to the pear jam. I hope your mom likes it. 🙂
Oh girl I know she will lol. I know her. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Alison, I think you and I should get together, we could cause some serious cooking in the kitchen. I was just thinking about jam my favorite is red raspberry, and crabapple but I am so anxious for summer that doing this cooking may mean the beginning of fall. This looks yummy. I lived in Colorado several years ago and was given some plums best jelly I ever made. Keep cooking andi
Andi, we would be so bad for each other! 🙂 I am so looking forward to being able to get fresh produce and fruit. It is hard being confined the way we are to frozen things at the moment. Raspberry and crabapple sounds delicious! My mom made a great crabapple jelly that she strained through muslin. I must get her recipe! Thanks for reminding me. I hope you share yours too!
