In a large pot, combine the chopped pears, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and salt. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to allow the pears to release their juices.
Heat the pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for about 30-35 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to break down the pear pieces as they soften.
The jam is ready when it thickens and clings to a spoon. You can test by placing a small amount on a chilled plate; it should hold its shape when you run a finger through it.
If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the jam lightly with an immersion blender.
While the jam is still hot, transfer it to sterilized jars. Leave about ¼ inch of headspace, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, OR let it cool and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Enjoy!
