Pear - Cinnamon - Vanilla - Jam

Deliciousdays are hosting the SHF #22 with the title "Can you can?". Sure, I can, I even love to can.
I tried a new recipe for a pear - jam. I never ate pear jam before so I was very curious about it.

This mixture of my most beloved spices (vanilla + cinnamon) with pears is very delicious. I bought "Santa Maria" pears; because they were very ripe and juicy, I didn't have to add extra pear juice as suggested in the recipe.
The cook book is called Zimt (sorry, only in German language) and it has wonderful recipes and photos for cinnamonoholics like me.
We were so surprised that this simple jam came out tasting so great that I wanted to repeat this "success". I didn't have enough pears, so I supplemented the needed one kilo with bananas. Not too bad either.
