Caramel Cardamom Pear Jam

Caramel cardamom pear jam recipeI don’t know what it is about the start of fall, but each and every year it reinvigorates my spirit, at least as far as the kitchen is concerned. I always feel an itch to get in there, windows flung open, music on blast, and whip up all sorts of delicious treats with the hope that the scent of nutmeg and cinnamon wafts through our entire home. My most recent concoction? This caramel cardamom pear jam. I’m not sure you could even consider it a recipe since it literally consisted of throwing a bunch of things into a pot and letting it cook down, but the results were absolutely out of this world. It’s like fall in a jar, and you need it in your life. It works beautifully paired with vanilla ice cream, atop a slice of homemade bread or, and most recently, generously scooped onto a slice of stinky cheese (um. YUM.) Caramel cardamom pear jam recipe Caramel cardamom pear jam recipe Caramel cardamom pear jam recipe
