Spicy Blackcurrant Jam
1 litre of blackcurrants
2 large pears
1/2 dl water
6 dl sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1. Peel and chop up the pears.
2. Mix all the ingredients in a pan and allow to simmer over a low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Remove from heat. Stir well. Allow to stand for 15 minutes before spooning into warm, clean jars.
P.S. My jaw dropped when I spotted these Cath Kidston plates at a local department store (Stockmann's), stashed almost on floor level in the furthest corner of the crockery section. ( As if CK goodies weren't hard enough to get one's hands on over here anyway...) I am a happy girl!
