    First let me start off by saying I had no idea if this Pear-Ginger and Honey-Vanilla Jam was going to turn out half way through the cooking process.  It definitely took a lot of prayer to get this where I got it.  I made this Pear-Ginger and Honey-Vanilla Jam so that it would cut nicely with the saltiness of crackers and assorted cheeses that my buddies over at Sartori Cheese sent me, thanks guys!  While the jam turned out fantastic I wouldn’t steer far from serving it with cheese and crackers.  Not so sure I’d pair it up with peanut butter on a sandwich if you know what I’m saying.  Really through out the process it sparked a huge interest into making some specialty jams so that I can eat more cheese and drink more wine :-).  No but seriously it was fun to make and I’m interested to see what other cool flavors I can come up with.  Who knows I may even bottle them up and sell them one day…
