Candied Pears

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pare the medium and smallest pears smoothly, leaving half the stem.

  2. Pare and halve the largest pears, cutting the stems through the center lengthwise.

  3. Remove the core and drop the pears into very cold water.

  4. Use a medium-sized granite-ware pan to cook the fruit, standing the whole pears stem upward to cover the bottom.
