When my boys and I discovered Serendipity Saucy Spreads, local jam mistresses from Santa Cruz, Dylan's favorite was their comice pear & rosemary conserve. What a great combination of flavors! I wanted to add some of my precious rhubarb to the mix. The rhubarb ended up dissolving into a sauce while the pears stayed chunky. So, it wasn't exactly as I had envisioned it would look; but the taste is exactly what I wanted. I started with Serendipity's recipe and went from there.
4 ripe pears, destemmed, cored, and sliced
5 stalks of rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 2" chunks2/3 C organic granulated sugar
1/2 C orange juice
1 T raw honey
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary (approx 4 inches in length, each)
Dash each of ground cinnamon & freshly ground nutmeg
1-2 C of water on hand to use during the cooking process
