Directions

  1. Wash the pears, peel them, remove the core and seeds, then cut them into 5 to 6 equal pieces. Submerge them in a solution of acidic water. ≈ 8 min
  2. Boil the peels and cores in the water for 10 to 12 minutes, then drain.
  3. In this syrup, dissolve the sugar, add the fruits, and cook for 10 to 20 minutes.
  4. For delicate varieties, place the pears in boiling water, remove them immediately, and let them cool covered: this will keep the juice clear and the fruit whole.
  5. Flavor with citrus zest or cinnamon. Once cooled, add the grape wine, pour into jars, and store in the refrigerator.
