The pear season is in full swing, so if you haven't made fruit marmalade, it's time to do it. Children will love this dessert, especially if you use ice cube trays in the form of figures.

Details

Wash 3 kg of pears, remove the skin and core. To make the marmalade thicken better, it's better to use firm, slightly unripe pears. Cut the prepared pears into medium pieces.

In a thick-bottomed saucepan, melt 120 g of butter, then add the pears to the butter and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add sugar, cook over medium heat until completely thickened and the liquid evaporates. This will take about 20-30 minutes. Do not forget to stir the puree constantly so that it does not burn. To check whether the puree is cooked enough: scoop it into a spoon; if the mixture sticks to the spoon, then the consistency is excellent.

Line the mold with food foil and grease with unflavored oil. Pour the pear puree, level the surface, leave in the mold until thickened. For the marmalade to set, 4-5 hours are enough. To speed up the process, place the mold in the refrigerator.

Remove the marmalade from the mold, remove the foil and cut into portioned pieces. When cutting, moisten the knife in cold water to prevent it from sticking. Roll each piece in sugar and enjoy.
