Pear and Ginger Cranberry Sauce

Pear and ginger are a great contrasting pair, and worked very well in this cranberry sauce variation.

Spiced Vanilla Pear Jam

An all natural pear preserve sweetened with concentrated fruit juice.

Pear, Riesling, and Ginger Sorbet

Pears, sweet-tart Riesling, and spicy ginger come together in a sorbet that's ripe and juicy with a clean, refreshing heat.

Pear-Cardamom Caramel

This caramel, folded with cooked down pears, has a lush, fudgy texture. Ginger and cardamom lend their herbaceous, spicy flavors which, alongside a generous pinch of salt, make for a sophisticated sweet.

Cranberry Orange Jam with Crystallized Ginger

What I like best about this jam is that tastes a lot like orange marmalade, but it only takes a fraction of the work to make. The secret is to pulse whole unpeeled oranges into a pulp in the food processor. To make it even more festive, I added a cinnamon stick and a generous handful of chopped crystallized ginger.

Raspberry Rhubarb Ginger Jam

Crystallized ginger melts into this tart raspberry-rhubarb jam, providing unexpected hints of heat and spice. The flavors are big and bold, so it would work best with straightforward baked goods that won't compete.

Pickled Seckel Pears

Tiny Seckel pears are wonderful pickled and are delicious additions to salads, cheeseboards or served with any roast meat that needs a little zing. They make great holidays gifts, so start stocking up now for an easy Christmas/Hanukkah season.

Autumn Jam with Pears, Mission Figs, and Cinnamon

Highlighting the sweet freshness of autumn figs and pears, this jam is a fall favorite. Tart orange provides a touch of zip, while just a hint of cinnamon adds warmth for those shorter, cooler evenings.

Caramelized Onion and Pear Jam

Sweet and tangy Caramelized Onion and Pear Jam with brown sugar, whole grain Dijon, and white balsamic, is a lovely accompaniment to seasonal cheese boards.

Chocolate Pear Jam

Pears, almonds, and chocolate come together in this sweet breakfast-or-midnight-snack spread.
