PEAR & GINGER SPARKLER
I created this twist on a Bellini when a friend gave me some Asian pears she grew in her backyard. If you like ginger and want more of a kick, try substituting ginger liqueur for the vodka. -Jacyn Siebert, San Francisco, California

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Mix together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- Soften butter or margarine in microwave. Mix it together with molasses and eggs.
- Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients. Dough will be very dense.
- Pick up tsp sized ball of dough and roll into a ball in your hands.
- Roll rounded ball into extra sugar to coat.
- Place balls of dough on baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 F for 15 minute Cookies may seem crisp when they come out of the oven, but once removed from cookie sheet and stored they should be soft.
Tips:
- Choose the right ginger. Fresh ginger is best for this recipe. Look for ginger that is plump and has smooth, unblemished skin.
- Peel the ginger thinly. This will help the ginger flavor infuse the syrup more easily.
- Use a variety of citrus fruits. This will give the sparklers a more complex flavor. Oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruits are all good choices.
- Don't boil the syrup. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat and then remove it from the heat. Boiling the syrup will make it too thick and syrupy.
- Let the syrup cool completely before using it. This will help the flavors meld together.
- Store the ginger sparklers in a cool, dark place. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Ginger sparklers are a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a fun and festive drink, give ginger sparklers a try!
