Method

• step 1

  Prepare the jars by washing thoroughly in hot, soapy water.

• step 2

  Rinse, drain and then put in a warm oven at 50C until the jam is ready for jarring.

• step 3

  Score down each vanilla pod, scrape out the seeds (keep the pods) and mix with 100ml of the lemon juice, whisking until the vanilla seeds are evenly dispersed.

• step 4

  Put 570ml water, the pears, lemon juice mixed with the vanilla seeds, and vanilla pods in a heavy-based saucepan and cook on a low heat with the lid on, stirring occasionally, for 35 minutes.

• step 5

  Add the apples and cook for a further 10 minutes.

• step 6

  Add the sugar and increase the temperature until you have a fast boil. Cook for 35 minutes, stirring very frequently to stop it catching.

• step 7

  Add the rest of the lemon juice, and cook for 5 minutes or until the jam reaches 104C on a sugar thermometer.

• step 8

  When the jam reaches temperature it will appear thick and glossy. Tip out of the pan into a heatproof bowl or container.

• step 9

  Leave to stand for 10 minutes to allow the fruit to distribute.

• step 10

  Ladle the jam into a measuring jug, before filling and lidding each jar.
