Quick pear jam

Jam is a traditional preserve that has been part of the cuisine in many cultures around the world. In Latin America, pear jam holds a special place due to the abundance of this fruit in the region. In different Latin American countries, this preparation may be known simply as "pear jam," although it is also called "dulce de pera" in some areas of Central America. Its origin dates back to European fruit preservation techniques introduced during the colonial era, which over time were adapted to local ingredients and culinary customs. This easy and quick recipe allows you to enjoy the sweet and natural flavor of pears in a homemade and practical way, ideal for accompanying bread, yogurt, or desserts.
