Description

A very old method for preserving the flesh of the fruit.

During cooking, water is evaporated and the aromas are concentrated, evolving towards a more jammy and greedy universe.

Checking the cooking process with a refractometer allows the quantity of dry matter and therefore of water remaining in the product to be checked to ensure its preservation and texture.

Technique

Combine the pectin and the smaller amount of caster sugar, then pour the mixture over the pear purée at 40°F (4°C).

Bring to a boil while stirring all the time. Next, sprinkle in the second portion of sugar, bring back to a boil, then add the glucose syrup.

Cook until it reaches 74°Brix, or about 220°F/105°C.

Add the acid solution, mix and then pour out immediately.

Trick

Cool to approx. 75°F (25°C) before measuring with a refractometer, as the temperature can affect the result.
