French Pear Jam with Dried Apricots and Honey

From master jam maker Bernard Le Gulvout, we are pleased to present a magnificent collection of his very best jams.  Mssr. Le Gulvout is located in the Langedoc Roussillon region of France and is an "artisan du goût" - an artisan of taste, and his family-owned company uses only the finest and freshest ingredients to produce the most flavorful fruit and flower spreads.

Pears have been cultivated for thousands of years, and since the 17th century have enjoyed great success in France, where hundreds of varieties have been created. The Williams pear which Bernard Le Gulvout uses in this recipe is green and turns yellow as it ripens. It has a delicate white flesh that is juicy and melts in the mouth. He then adds just a touch of honey to the pear as well as dried apricots to give a chunkier texture.  A lovely sweet jam that will be a delicious addition on crêpes, waffles, scones and toast. A magnificent topping for ice cream or a perfect addition to yogurt, fresh cheeses or cottage cheese.
