A wonderful side paired with my Stuffed-Pork-Loin-Genoa-Style (recipe 344415). This can also be poured over ice cream or cake. This recipe can be halved quite successfully.

SERVES 10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

7 lbs cooking pears, peeled, cored, quartered
2 cups vinegar
4 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon whole cloves

Directions

1
Immediately place peeled and quartered pears in cold water with lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.
2
In a 3-gallon stockpot, blend vinegar, sugar, water and spices.
3
Drain pears, add to pot and bring to a rolling boil.
4
Reduce heat to simmer and cook until pears are tender and can be pierced with a fork.
5
Cool then refrigerate overnight to give the flavors time to meld. Drain brine then serve.

Nice pears! I used organic apple cider vinegar and cut both the vinegar and the sugar by about 1/3. Served as a side dish with smoked tenderloin. I will use this recipe again, as the spice blend was lovely with the pears, but perhaps a little too much vinegar bite for my taste....so I will cut the vinegar by about half next time around. Thank you for a wonderful post. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Tag.

These were just lovely, wanted something to serve in a starter salad with blue cheese and these just hit the spot. If you want to make in smaller quantity use the microwave - still great results. thanks for the recipe will make again and again. Made for tag.
