Problematic pear preserve!
Asked on 22 Sep 2017 by anniefromcrewe
I am making pear and ginger chutney, I cannot get it to go syrupy despite simmering for ages now. The pears are very soft. Any tips? Will it set as it cools?
Many thanks,
Annie

Hello Annie,
I’m not familiar with the recipe you are following so I don’t know if it’s likely to set. It could be that you have simmered it more gently than the author intended.
I hope it works out for you.
Kind regards

Thankyou Lindsey. I realised after writing I had been simmering with the lid on, and of course jam etc is usually made without a lid. Thankyou for replying.
