Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients:

• 2 cups water
  
• 2 cups sugar
  
• 12 peppercorns
  
• 1 cinnamon stick
  
• 2 whole cloves
  
• 3 pears, peeled
  

Instructions:

• Pour the water into a large saucepan and place over low heat. Stir in the sugar until dissolved.
• Add the peppercorns, cinnamon stick and cloves.
• Place the pears in the pan.
• Place a piece of parchment paper over the pears and lay a plat on top of the pan. This will keep the pears under the water so they will tender.
• Cook over low heat 25 minutes or until the pears are fork tender.
• Remove the pears and place on a plate.
• Continue cooking the liquid another 20 minutes or until it becomes a syrup.
• Strain the liquid to remove the peppercorns, cinnamon stick and cloves.
• Cut the pears half lengthwise and remove the seeds and core.
• Slice the pear halves in quarter. Spoon the syrup over the cut pears.
