Instructions
  1. To sterilise the jars rinse well and pop into a hot oven for 5-10 minutes or run them through the hot wash in a dishwasher.
  2. Soak the saffron threads in a couple of spoonfuls of boiling water for 2 minutes.
  3. Roughly chop the pears and tip into a saucepan with all the remaining ingredients including the saffron and its water.
  4. Bring to the boil and bubble away for about 30 minutes, stirring often, until the liquid has reduced right down and the fruit is soft.
  5. Spoon into the hot sterilised jars, screw the lids on tightly and turn upside down. Leave to cool then turn them the right way up.
  6. Store in a dark cool cupboard for up to six months. Once opened refrigerate and use within a couple of months.
