Pear Question
I have several old jam/preserve recipes from my grandmother which call for
pears to be peeled, cored, then either ground (jam) or sliced (preserve). My recollection of her jam/preserve was that the pears retained a noticable texture. When I buy pears for eating ripe, it seems the texture would be far too soft for grinding or slicing and retaining a texture after cooking. Are these recipes expecting a different kind of pear or pears that are not ripe?
